... The goals of the v6ops working group are: 1. Solicit input from network operators and users to identify operational issues with the IPv4/IPv6 Internet, and determine solutions or workarounds to those issues. These issues will be documented in Informational or BCP RFCs, or in Internet-Drafts. This work should primarily be conducted by those areas and WGs which are responsible and best fit to analyze these problems, but v6ops may also cooperate in focusing such work. 2. Publish Informational or BCP RFCs that identify potential security risks in the operation of shared IPv4/IPv6 networks, and document operational practices to eliminate or mitigate those risks. This work will be done in cooperation with the Security area and other relevant areas or working groups. 3. As a particular instance of (1) and (2), provide feedback to the IPv6 WG regarding portions of the IPv6 specifications that cause, or are likely to cause, operational or security concerns, and work with the IPv6 WG to resolve those concerns. This feedback will be published in Internet-Drafts or RFCs. ... > Joe >
