Folks,

The current draft charter prompts some basic questions:


1. What does "This solution should work whether or not the peer site supports the shim6 protocol" mean in the draft charter and how can it succeed?



Doesn't it mean to say "communication will be possible wo shim6 at both ends?" or something to that effect?


2. Why is shim6 limited to IPv6? What is it about the problem space and/or the solution space that is required to exclude IPv4?



Because the WG is tasked with implementing a design from multi_6_ (my highlights :-) and not from multi4?

Isn't it reasonable to summarize the v4/v6 thread on this list as "if
we can make it work on v4 we will but it isn't a requirement" ?
