Re: [v6ops] management and ipv6

Hi Jari,

Some gaps in management tools were reported in the survey that led to
RFC6036, although we didn't really split them out in the analysis.
However, I do emphasise *tools*. It isn't obvious that there's a gap
in IETF specifications. So I'd be interested in seeing more details
about the proposed scope of such a document.

Regards
