All,
We have reached the point where it is time to do a Last Call on the
latest revision of the new proposed ipv6 working group charter as
attached below and posted to the mailing list earlier today. We have
gone from determining the generic direction to fine tuning the
language for final publication. As Shane mentioned in his previous
mail it looks like we have reached the point where further changes are
not going to provide for a much improved outcome.
Please speak up on or before 20091213 to voice your support for the
new charter, or alternatively a statement why we need to consider
further changes with suggestions of what these changes should entail.
I have already started to keep track of people who stated their
support before the official Last Call started, but after Shane's final
version was posted, so there is no need to do so again.
Just in case we do find very minor issues like a spelling error, I
will correct them without issuing a new Last Call. Barring any other
negative comments that preclude me from declaring a rough consensus, I
will ask the RIPE NCC to post the new charter on the website after the
Last Call has passed.
I hope this helps,
David Kessens

New proposed charter for the IPv6 working group:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
IPv6 is the next generation IP protocol. The IPv6 working group exists
to promote IPv6 adoption.
The working group activities may be anything useful in helping people
to deploy IPv6, and to manage IPv4/IPv6 co-existence. These activities
include:
* Outreach
* Education
* Sharing deployment experiences
* Discussing and fixing operational issues
The working group will cooperate with operators and others, both
inside and outside the networking industry, to share resources and
combine efforts.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
