Hello List,

I think Shane did a very good job.
I support this version.

Ralph.

All,

I've tried to combine all of the input and comments and produce a
version of the text which hopefully includes all suggestions. Hopefully
it is not too long:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
IPv6 is the next-generation IP 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 operational issues

The working group will co-operate within the networking industry and 
without, to share resources and combine efforts.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes:

      * The 2nd paragraph was updated as per Sander's input.
      * I took David's point and removed "co-operation" as a activity,
        since as he indicated it is quite vague without the explanation.
        Instead I added the sentence at the end there. The idea is to
        make sure that we note that we have a goal of not duplicating
        work, but rather use the good stuff that other IPv6 and non-IPv6
        organizations have done. If this doesn't make sense in the
        charter, we can of course leave it out.
      * I added David's activity about sharing deployment experiences -
        it seems to make sense.
      * I added a slightly modified activity based on David's last new
        one. His was "propose solutions for operational issues". I would
        rather see this as a more general discussion of operational
        issues - presumably solutions will be proposed where
        appropriate. If we want to focus on solutions, then we can
        revert to David's idea about proposing solutions.

I think we are very close, and hopefully people are happy with this one.
I don't have any objection to further modifications, although I am
looking forward to moving past the rechartering and getting to some
planning of what to do with the new-found working group super-powers! :)
