draft-ietf-v6ops-ent-analysis-05.txt to Informational



v6ops begs your indulgence to send this document off in an Informational status.

1.a) Have the chairs personally reviewed this version of the Internet Draft (ID), and in particular, do they believe this ID is ready to forward to the IESG for publication? Which chair is the WG Chair Shepherd for this document?

Yes, I believe that it is ready for publication. I will be the proto- shepherd.

1.b) Has the document had adequate review from both key WG members and key non-WG members? Do you have any concerns about the depth or breadth of the reviews that have been performed?

This document has had significant and at times contentious review in the working group. I believe that the recommendations it makes are sound and have been accepted by the working group.

1.c) Do you have concerns that the document needs more review from a particular (broader) perspective (e.g., security, operational complexity, someone familiar with AAA, internationalization, XML, etc.)?

I could imagine interest in the Internet area. It is essentially operational, so issues that the security area or others might come up with are more comments on IPv6 than they are on these points.

1.d) Do you have any specific concerns/issues with this document that you believe the ADs and/or IESG should be aware of? For example, perhaps you are uncomfortable with certain parts of the document, or have concerns whether there really is a need for it. In any event, if your issues have been discussed in the WG and the WG has indicated it that it still wishes to advance the document, detail those concerns in the write-up

There has been significant discussion in the WG regarding the document. At this point, I believe that the document is appropriate and makes appropriate statements.

1.e) How solid is the WG consensus behind this document? Does it represent the strong concurrence of a few individuals, with others being silent, or does the WG as a whole understand and agree with it?

One could describe v6ops as a set of groups of people intimately worried about specific topics among a crowd of people who mostly want to stay in touch with what happens. As such, it is a pretty quiet group. However, consensus exists behind this document to the extent it can be measured.

1.f) Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme discontent? If so, please summarise the areas of conflict in separate email to the Responsible Area Director. (It should be separate email because this questionnaire will be entered into the tracker).

not to my knowledge.

1.g) Have the chairs verified that the document checks out against all the ID nits? (see http://www.ietf.org/ID-Checklist.html). Boilerplate checks are not enough; this check needs to be thorough.

Yes.

1.h) Has the document split its references into normative and informative?

Yes.

Are there normative references to IDs, where the IDs are not also ready for advancement or are otherwise in an unclear state?

There are several references to internet drafts. All are non-normative.

The RFC Editor will not publish an RFC with normative references to IDs (will delay the publication until all such IDs are also ready for RFC publicatioin). If the normative references are behind, what is the strategy for their completion? On a related matter, are there normative references that are downward references, as described in BCP 97, RFC 3967 RFC 3967 [RFC3967]? Listing these supports the Area Director in the Last Call downref procedure specified in RFC 3967.

This has been addressed.

1.i) For Standards Track and BCP documents, the IESG approval announcement includes a write-up section with the following sections:

*    Technical Summary

This document analyzes the transition to IPv6 in enterprise networks. These networks are characterized as a network that has multiple internal links, one or more router connections, to one or more Providers, and is managed by a network operations entity. The analysis focuses on a base set of transition notational networks and requirements expanded from a previous Enterprise Scenarios document. Discussion is provided on a focused set of transition analysis required for the enterprise to transition to IPv6, assuming a Dual-IP layer (IPv4 and IPv6) network and node environment, within the enterprise. Then a set of transition mechanisms are recommended for each notational network.

*    Working Group Summary

This has been discussed in detail in the working group.

*    Protocol Quality

This does not specify a protocol.
