RE: [dhcwg] Title for draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-stateless-03.txt

Ralph:

I don't have any objection to changing the document name to "Stateless
DHCPv6 Server". 

I would suggest that perhaps section 4 have an explicit reference to RFC
3315 and DHCPv6:

4. Basic Requirements for Implementation of DHCP

      Several sections of the DHCPv6 specification [1] provide background
                                  ^^               ^^^
      information or define parts of the specification that are common
      to all implementations:

Note that in most places you refer to RFC 3315 as "DHCPv6 specification" and
not DHCP specification.

Also, you should review your use of DHCP vs. DHCPv6 throughout. In section
2, you state "Throughout this document, "DHCP" refers to DHCP for IPv6." But
DHCPv6 is used fairly frequently. Personally, I'd prefer that "DHCPv6" be
used instead of just "DHCP". But, whichever you decide, I think it important
that the usage is consistent.

Subject: [dhcwg] Title for draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-stateless-03.txt

The IESG is reviewing draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-stateless-03.txt, "A Guide to
Implementing Stateless DHCPv6 Service".  There is a request to change the
title to simply "Stateless DHCPv6 Service", because the document defines a
subset of RFC 3315, rather than giving a guide to implementing RFC 3315.

I am concerned that there has been confusion in the past that
draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-stateless-03.txt is simply a reference into RFC 3315,
and that draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-stateless-03.txt does *not* describe a new
protocol.  If the WG is confident that the change won't add to the potential
for confusion and there are no other objections, I'll change the title of
draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-stateless-03.txt to "Stateless DHCPv6 Service"
