Subject: Revised IPng Working Group Charter


> Thomas, Erik,
>
> Attached is the revised charter for the IPng working group.  Updating the
> charter was agreed to at the Grenoble and Minneapolis working group
> meetings.  This version has been discussed on the ipng mailing list and at
> the Adelaide IETF meeting.
>
> The charter includes changing the name of the working group to the "IP
> Version 6 Working Group", but will keep the acronym of "ipngwg".  This
will
> avoid having to rename all current internet drafts.

> Description of Working Group:
>
>     IP version 6 or IPv6 (also formerly known as IP Next Generation or
IPng)
>     is intended to support the continued growth of the Internet, both in
>     size and capabilities, by offering a greatly increased IP address
space
>     and other enhancements over IPv4.  The working group was originally
>     chartered to implement the recommendations of the IPng Area Directors
>     as outlined at the July 1994 IETF meeting and in "The Recommendation
>     for the IP Next Generation Protocol," RFC1752, January 1995.  Most of
>     the tasks in that original charter have been completed, and the core
>     IPv6 protocol specifications are now on the IETF standards track.
>     The working group's ongoing responsibilities are as follows:
>
>      - Complete work from the original charter and follow-on work, as
>        outlined below.
>
>      - Keep all IPv6 working group documents moving along publication /
>        standardization track.
>
>      - Serve as a review board and body of competence and coordination for
>        IPv6 architectural issues that span multiple IETF working groups.
>
>      - Provide a home for IPv6-related work that doesn't fit in an
existing
>        IETF working group and doesn't merit a working group of its own.
>
>      - Provide technical input to ICANN, Internet Address Registries, and
>        IANA with regard to IPv6 address allocation policies and
procedures.
>
>      - Provide technical input and review to IANA with regard to IPv6
>        protocol and parameter assignments.
>
>     The list of the working group's current work items is as follows:
>
>      - Revise ICMPv6 spec (scope-exceeded err, no error to redirect,
>        editorial)
>      - Revise Generic Tunneling spec (add bidirectional tunnels)
>      - Update Basic and Advanced API specs
>      - Complete Scoped Address Architecture spec and any necessary
revisions
>        to other working group drafts required to properly implement
support
>        for IPv6 address scoping
>      - Complete work on recommended address-selection algorithms
>      - Work on new solutions to site-multihoming problems, possibly
including
>        both host-based and router-based solutions.
>      - Complete work on local IPv6 networking as part of IPv6
plug-and-play
>      - Complete work on privacy extensions to stateless address
configuration
>      - Document IPv6 renumbering model
>      - Complete the GSE Analysis document
>      - Complete the Inverse Neighbor Discovery spec
>      - Complete the IPv6 Node Information Queries spec
>      - Complete MIB specs as required by any working group protocol specs
>
>     New work items not listed above require the approval of the working
>     group and Internet Area directors before they will be taken on by the
>     working group.
>
>     The working group would welcome contributions on the following topics
>     (this is not an exhaustive list):
>
>      - Flow label standardization
>      - Solutions to other multihoming issues, beyond those specific to
>        site-multihoming
>      - Integration of autoconfiguration, mobility, DNS, service discovery
>        and other technologies to enhance IPv6 plug-and-play
>      - IPv6 dial-up issues relating to address assignment, use of Neighbor
>        Discovery, etc. (not including AAA work)
>      - Specifications for IPv6 over additional media
>      - Extending MLD to include functionality of IGMPv3
>      - Host use of anycast; TCP use of anycast
>      - Support for multi-link subnets (single subnet spans multiple links)
>      - Scope-name discovery
>      - IPv6 protocol extensions to accommodate mobile wireless networks.
>
> Goals and Milestones:
>
