> The authors have requested that the working group adopt draft-mrugalski-softwire-dhcpv4-over-v6-option as a working group work item.   The document is within the scope of the current charter.   It describes a DHCPv6 option that is used to configure client relay agents (draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv4-over-ipv6).

I think we should not. including draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv4-over-ipv6.

a) DHC should wait until it is clear what the outcome of softwire is. there are multiple solutions to the same problem proposed.
    hopefully one will not end up with standardizing all of them. DHCPv4 over IPv6 is only needed in one of the solution sets.
b) is this the right solution? if the working group doesn't think solving the problem of running DHCPv6 over IPv4 should use a CRA.
    why is that the correct solution for DHCPv4 over IPv6?

cheers,
Ole
