Re: [v6ops] Enterprise Guidance on IPv6 (draft-chkpvc-enterprise-incremental-ipv6-00)

[Fred Baker <[e-mail]>]

Let me put a straight question to the working group. The topic is:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-chkpvc-enterprise-incremental-ipv6
  "Enterprise Incremental IPv6", Lee Howard, Tim Chown, KK Chittimaneni,
  Yanick Pouffary, Eric Vyncke, Victor Kuarsingh, 27-Feb-12

Read the v6ops charter (http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/v6ops/charter/). Do you feel that this document is within the charter? If so, do you feel that the document and its recommendations represent useful advice concerning operational practice in an enterprise (e.g., edge network that is large enough to provide its own IT services as opposed to contracting those) IPv6 network?

Based on that analysis and viewpoint, would you support its adoption as a working group draft?

I am of course interested in views across the working group. In this particular case, however, I would find especially interesting the commentary of enterprise network operators.
