Dear colleagues,

I work at the Internet Society but am not speaking for them.

I think I recalled an (int area?) meeting something like a decade ago where there was a pretty strong sense of consensus that the right thing for the IETF to do is to stop fiddling with IPv4 and to make the path to v6 easier.  How would this set of work contribute to that direction?

Best regards,

A
