Re: [MEXT] the future of the MEXT working group

[Behcet Sarikaya <[e-mail]>]

Hi Jari,

draft-xia-mext-hioptv4-03.txt is for the charter item:

Sep 2011 - Submit I-D 'Home agent discovery in IPv4-only networks via DHCP'
to IESG for publication as Proposed Standard.

This is the only draft offered as a solution for this charter item.

The draft has received comments by DHCP experts like Ted Lemon and Tomek
Mrugalski and revised accordingly.

I think that it is ready for publication.

What should we do?

Regards,

Behcet
