Appel due to management of the "site-local issue"

[Leif Johansson <leifj@it.su.se>]

During the IETF meeting in San Francisco, rough consensus found that 
site-local was to be deprecated.
The wg was to investigate other approaches to the problems site-local 
claims to solve. It should be noted
that the wg chairs explicitly before the meeting in San Francisco asked 
people not directly involved in
ipv6 design (security, routing and applications people) to get involved 
with this issue. In my opinion
from talking to a number of collegues and from the traffic on the 
mailing list those involved from other
areas are no longer actively participating in the debate since they 
believe that site-locals has indeed been deprecated and that the ipv6 wg 
is continuing the important work on ipv6 in the IETF.

Currently the question about the future and status of site-locals is 
again beeing discussed in the wg
despite the fact that consensus was achieved in SF and confirmed on the 
mailing-list. This is a sign that
the wg chairs have not been able to follow the plan laid out at the SF 
meeting.

I respectfully ask that the ADs to confirm the decision made in San 
Francisco, later confirmed on the
mailing list, and ask the wg chairs to please move on, working on real 
issues regarding ipv6 than beating
this dead horse once again.
