Dear IPv6 WG. After long and exhausting IETF week, where we met with some great experts from the industry and did some sanity checks and corrected some mistakes and misunderstandings in the RIPE-501-replacement document, we are issuing next (9th) version of the draft, that is in our opinion really final one. I mean it. Last one. There was lot's of time, efforts and work put into this document and I think we are done. This replacement document is also meant as a some kind of input or initial template for EU IPv6 profile, so we wanted it to be very solid and accurate. Thanks to all of you involved, you know who you are (you are all in Acknowledgements section ;) ) and thnx to this WG and their co-chairs for support, help and all good comments. We already set the last version to RIPE-NCC for grammar checks and conversion into HTML in order to appear in RIPE Documents section as a draft, but meantime, we are publishing the last version also in PDF in order for you, community, to read it prior to RIPE64 meeting. http://go6.si/docs/Requirements-for-IPv6-in-ICT-equipment-v.9.pdf Please, those of you who are interested and have time, read it and express you r opinions and possible comments. Rumor has it, that we'll have "review" period over the RIPE64 meeting and Last call shortly after that. As this is not an official PDP, we can also propose chairs to change the procedure, if there is any need for that. Track of the progress and different versions of the draft can be found at: http://go6.si/ripe501bis/ Cheers from co-authors: Merike, Sander and Jan
