RE: DHCP failures (was RE: Do you want to have more meetings outside US ?)

["Tony Hain" <alh-ietf@tndh.net>]

An experimental status is not 'finished' work. From a v6ops perspective,
there was a clear hole demonstrated at the last meeting, so the wg should
step up and work on changing the status to PS. I don't see any obvious
problems with the current text, but a wg review followed by a request to
change the status would end up with more implementations and deployment
experience.
