final agenda for IPv6 working group RIPE36
by David Kessens 12 May '00

12 May '00

Hi, Below follows the final version of the IPv6 wg agenda. Please let me know if you have any other topics that you want to have discussed or if you have other comments. Despite being the final version of the agenda, we still have the freedom to add more topics during the agenda bashing. I am still looking for volunteers to cover some of the topics as proposed in the agenda. Please let me know if you are willing to take care of one of these. I have asked for a one hour time slot this time since we are already providing an IPv6 tutorial on tuesday (see RIPE NCC website for details). In addition, Bill Manning will give a presentation on DNS and IPv6 to the dns working group. In order to allow you to attend this presentation, I have asked the meeting organization to make sure that the DNS working group session and IPv6 working group session will not fall into the same time slot. At this point I still haven't heard whether the registries will be ready before the meeting with the draft revision of the IPv6 allocation guidelines. I will try to get more time allocated to us and the local ir working group in case they are able to get the draft out just before the meeting. Thanks and see you at the meeting, David K. --- Agenda for the IPv6 Working Group Meeting RIPE36, May 2000, Budapest A. Administrative stuff - appointment of scribe - agenda bashing (David Kessens) B. Status of 6bone (David Kessens) C. News from the IPv6 forum (Juergen Rauschenbach) D. Summary of the Birmingham IPv6 event (Stuart Prevost) E. European developments/initiatives regarding IPv6 (input from the audience) F. Reports on on-going projects, success & failures stories on IPv6 (I am looking for volunteers who are willing to share their experiences) G. Future plans for the working group (input from the audience) tutorials, topics for next meeting, call for volunteers Z. AOB ---
