RFC 3068 (An Anycast Prefix for 6to4 Relay Routers) does more harm than good. IMHO, it should be deprecated.

I would support that, providing first that 6RD is A) adopted as a proposed standard, and B) comes to see more widespread deployment than 6to4. I also believe the latter is very likely to happen contingent on the former, so I would vigorously support taking up 6RD as a working group activity.

6rd is a transition behavior. Please refer to http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/v6ops-charter.html , and its two statements regarding working group effort on transition behaviors.

IPv6 Operations, in this context, can generate requirements. Our ADs have told us to ask other working groups to build solutions when solutions are needed. This has not stopped folks from asking for slots to discuss transition behaviors, and I have been lenient in allowing that. That doesn't allow us to take it up as a working group focus.

Ooops! My mistake. Since 6RD is a tunneling mechanism and not a translating mechanism, I would expect this request should be directed to SOFTWIRE. So, here I am in SOFTWIRE now.
