Alain: I have a question. In your recent note to softwire, you seem to be changing the charter that you and Jari stated in v6ops at IETF-81. At IETF-81, you stated that there was no need for a translation-related working group because translation (specifically the dIVI proposal, but more generally translation) would be part of the ongoing softwire charter. In your more recent statements, you appear to be saying that the topic would be discussed in a "vs" setting and buried "because the IETF has decided to not work on translation". I'll remind you that the IETF has not only chosen to work on translation, but to standardize it along with tunneling technologies.
I call on you to not only give lip service to discussion, but to allow and support open discussion of stateless a+p tunneling (as apposed to ds-lite, which is stateful) and translation, as you said you would.
