Thanks for sending the email, Magnus.

IMHO:

Too bad. Of course, folks who did not partake in BEHAVE would have no
idea that BEHAVE would be the right mailing list to ask about NAT/ALG/FW
transit questions, so the name is certainly not helpful to encourage
communications, but i can as of yet not see that the underlying issues
that led to BEHAVE have vanished from the Internet and even more so
private networks, and any other WG we have might be even less of a
welcoming community to discuss NAT issues sould they arise (just
imaginging how welcoming 6man is to any poor folks that (think they)
really need IPv6/IPv6 NAT).

Whats the benefit of closing the list ? If someone has calculated that
the 20 KByte of disk space required to maintain it on IETF servers costs
50 cents/quarter, i am happy to shoulder that cost.

Reminds me of fukoshima. There was a nice report that the last really
bad flood was something like 80 years ago, so everbody warning to
continue to be prepared died, and hence fukoshima was built as
badly as it was. Or if that was too far fetched: As long as NAT exists
as a challenge for the Internet, we should have a mailing list like BEHAVE,
absence of communications is just ongoing luck (or bad naming) but no argument for
removing the list (IMHO).

Cheers
