We would like to avoid introducing nodes and solutions which would delay the migration to IPv6. An effort is required to standardize the port-range based solutions. That's why we have been carrying out this effort at the IETF.

ok, i understand you are coordinating with Mat already about this

So, i would like to understand a bit more how are we going to manage the 
exploration of the solutions space.
I understand that there will be a joint presentation, including the 
different proponents of solutions, including  Randy,  you guys,  Remi 
Despres, Teemu and Gabor, where you are going to present a high level 
description of the solution space.
Now, i am not sure if we should go into the details of the solutions. I 
mean, discussing how the PPP is extended or how the dhcp port range 
option should looki, doesn't seem to me to be the right level of 
disucssion for the bof. Probably we want to stay on a higher level of 
detail and discuss the overall solution. Maybe some other people can 
comment on what they think we should spend the time of the bof.

So, my take is that with a high level presentation of the solution space 
wihtout getting into the details of the ppp options and dhcp options 
should be enough for the bof (of course, if the work is charterted, the 
particualr disucssion on the solution is relevant, but i am not sure 
that is the case for the bof)


Regards, marcelo

For example the solutions agenda item is intended to include the proposed solutions from all that we know of including Mr Boucadair and co-authors work.

Splitting people into yet another WG seem to me be only diluting the pool of people working on these problems and increasing the overhead to get work done. Thus this BOF is not WG forming, instead it is run to determine if we should go ahead and charter the work in already existing WGs. To determine that we need to have a discussion about the issue intended to be solved and if there is consensus for the proposed solution space with its trade-offs.
