Re: Introducing draft-6man-addresspartnaming

Richard,

It is good to discuss this in 6man on the IPv6 list, but if you are going to resubmit the draft it should be named something like:

  draft-hartmann-6man-addresspartnaming-00

as it is an individual draft, not a 6man working group document.

Thanks,
Bob
