The Last Call for our new charter resulted in a very large number of positive responses and nobody at all speaking up against the new charter. I therefore conclude that we have consensus on the charter. I did receive a few comments from the working group chair list that the first sentence mentioning the 'IP protocol' is a bit awkward as 'IP' already stands for 'Internet Protocol'. It was suggested that we simply use the words 'Internet Protocol' instead of 'IP protocol' to avoid this issue. As this is really only an editorial change, I will go ahead and make this change when I request the RIPE NCC to post the new charter. Please let me know if you have an issue with this editorial change. I would like to thank Shane as the author of the charter text and everybody else who contributed with comments and suggestions for the charter discussion. David Kessens --- New proposed charter for the IPv6 working group: (first sentence was changed from: IPv6 is the next generation IP protocol to: IPv6 is the next generation Internet Protocol) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- IPv6 is the next generation Internet 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. -----------------------------------------------------------------------
