And in Atlanta we all agreed to take elimination off the list, and it
has not been discussed since. The agenda for SF was:
Site-Local Addressing
  Impact of site-local addressing -- Margaret Wasserman (20 min)
 
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-wasserman-ipv6-sl-impact-02.tx
t

  "Limited Usage" Summary -- Margaret Wasserman (5 min)
  [See appendix of draft-wasserman-ipv6-sl-impact-02, above.]

  "Moderate Usage" Proposal -- Bob Hinden (15 min)
 
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-hinden-ipv6-sl-moderate-01.txt

Nowhere in that or the mail preceding the meeting is elimination
mentioned.
