[Softwires] Milestone update and closing/rechartering discussion

[Suresh Krishnan <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,
   As we mentioned in the last meeting we are trying to wind down the 
softwire working group in an orderly fashion and trying to make sure 
that no essential documents are left out.

Milestones update
=================

To start off we would like to update the milestones for the open 
deliverables. If you think that the timelines are off or if you think 
any of these deliverables are not needed, please feel to speak up.

             (decide whether to include lw4o6 or not)

Potential items for new milestones: Part 1
==========================================

There are also some drafts (or draft ideas) that have seen some support 
at the meetings when they were presented or discussed. We would like to 
gauge the support for these drafts before we add them to the milestones.

Softwire YANG model draft
draft-sun-softwire-yang-04

Dynamic IPv4 Provisioning for Lightweight 4over6
draft-liu-softwire-lw4over6-dynamic-provisioning-00

Lightweight 4over6 operational document
(Idea floated - no current draft)


Potential items for rechartering: Part 2
========================================

There are also a few other drafts that have been presented and the 
authors have requested that they be included in the rechartering process 
(if there is one). Similar to the items in Part 1, we would like to 
gauge the support for these drafts as well before we decide to work on them.

RADIUS Extensions for IPv4-Embedded Multicast and Unicast IPv6 Prefixes
draft-hu-softwire-multicast-radius-ext-08

Multicast Support for Mapping of Address and Port Protocol and Light 
Weight 4over6
draft-sarikaya-softwire-map-multicast-04

There are also a few other drafts floating around that could be of 
potential interest to softwires. If you feel that there are other drafts 
that need to be considered, feel free to propose them here as well. If 
we see a very strong need for a recharter we will work with the ADs to 
decide on the further steps.

Thanks
Suresh
