RE: FYI: Site Local

["Wijnen, Bert (Bert)" <bwijnen@lucent.com>]

Mmmm.... I am not on IPv6 list (I just cannot be on all
IETF WG mailing lists as you understand).
Does it then make sense (is it good behaviour) to
jump in and post my opinion? The least thing one would
expect then is that some posting would be made to IETF or
IETF-ANNOUCNE that invites (non mailing lists members) 
to pay attention.

The normal process is that non-mailing-list or non-WG people
react on an IETF Last Call, no?

Thanks,
Bert
