1: Administrative stuff
	The audience has no additions to the Agenda
2: Reports
	- 6Bone
		Francis gives a short overview of the current status of
		the 6Bone. He refers to the information on
		www.6bone.net for more detailed information.
	- IETF
		Francis gives a short overview of what happened at the 
		IETF meetings on IPv6
		- After long discussions the proposal by Mike O'Dell
		on addressing schemes (8+8, JSE) has been withdrawn by
		himself. 
		There is now a new draft on addressing:
			draft-ietf-ipngwg-unicast-aggr-00.txt 
		This draft proposes a addressing scheme that is
		optimized for aggregation. 
		This draft is supposed to replace RFC2073 on provider
		based addressing.
	- Routing
		Currently there are draft proposals and beta implementations for
three dynamic routing protocols
		with support for IPng.
			
		RIPng, 
			there is an RFC and is widely used on the 6Bone
		OSPFng, 
			there is a draft proposal.
		BGP4+, 
			there is a draft proposal by Tony Bates from 
			Cisco and there is a beta implementation by
			Cisco already implemented and running on core routers in the
6Bone.
	- Implementations
		No news on new implementations
- RIPE and address assignment.
	[Francis I couldn't here what you had to tell here !!! ]
- Other WG
	
	- DB
	  The Ipv6 DB object.
	  Francis stresses the importance of the RIPE IPv6 registration
	  database since routing on the 6Bone is still not as dynamic as
	  we would like.
- AOB
	According to Francis Dupont there has been a IPv6 demonstration
	at the last JENC conference in Edinburg. On his question to the
	audience if anybody had seen this and could tell something about
	it, nobody reacted.
