[DNA-BOF] Chairs' Charter discussion update.

[Greg Daley <greg.daley@eng.monash.edu.au>]

Hi,

As part of the discussions with the ADs an other
Internet Area Chairs about the DNA charter there
has been some things which I thought it was good
to tell the group here about.

At this stage, it looks like the IPv6 chairs and
ADs have agreed/asked that IPv6 DAD optimization
goes into IPv6 WG.

This will give the work access to lots of people
who are experienced with neighbour discovery and
DAD, at the same time as RFC-2461/2462 updates
are occurring.

While there's no explicit migration plan yet,
for that work, I'll be working with the IPv6
chairs to bring them up to date on what's
been done in DNA BoF on this topic, so that
they can move forward.

Of course we still have to get DNA to be a WG
first, though.

The second thing is that there is some interest
from one of the other Internet Area WG chairs
to improve the terminology (similarly to what
we have discussed here).

Essentially, what was suggested was to discuss
'subnet change' instead of '(L3) link change'.

I guess this would be based on existing RFCs which
say:

(RFC3513 Section 2.1)
"Currently IPv6 continues the IPv4 model that a
  subnet prefix is associated with one link.
  Multiple subnet prefixes may be assigned to the
  same link."

If this is acceptable to the AD's and the WG
chairs, would this be OK with the group?
