[ipv6-wg] RIPE-501bis

Hi,

I hear that there are some discussions about a new version of RIPE 501 in other forums than this mailing list for this wg. More precisely in some LinkedIn Forum.

Let me in a few words say that side discussions makes me somewhat nervous.

This document do have a large impact on the market and although of course its existence should be announced widely, I do not want to see actual discussions that lead to new versions anywhere else than here on this mailing list. If for example editors do get feedback privately or elsewhere than here on the list, I expect I will see at least summaries of that discussion here.

We at Cisco have read RIPE-501 in detail, we have compared the document with other similar requirements documents, and yes, we will come shortly with some suggestions for changes. Both based on our experience with other such documents (it would be good if they are somewhat similar), and feedback we already have got from customers of ours that tries to use RIPE-501. I.e. pure editorial changes on how the document is composed.
