[6bone] 6bone transitions planning BOF in San Francisco

[Todd T. Fries]

I cannot be there, but I find it disturbing that in 3 short years I will
no longer be able to connect to the 6bone.  I presume that by that time
tunnel providers (such as www.freenet6.net) will have migrated their
users over to real addresses?

Or do I really need to start pressuring my upstreams to provide ipv6
connectivity?

Penned by Bob Fink on Thu, Feb 27, 2003 at 02:01:50PM -0800, we have:
| 6bone Folk,
| 
| Looks like we are on the official agenda for a one hour 6bone transition 
| planning BOF on Tuesday, March 18, 1700-1800 Afternoon Sessions IV.
| 
| Note that we are somewhat constrained to the agenda below as the 6bone 
| doesn't fit the IETF model for a BOF unless there is some new activity. 
| I.e., we aren't being given this hour to discuss operational problems, 
| changes to our operating procedures, etc., rather to discuss the plan for 
| our transitions.
| 
| The agenda I provided to the IESG for approval, and the one that was 
| accepted, is:

| BOF FULL NAME: 6bone Transitions Planning (6bone)
| 
| AREA: Operations - Randy Bush
| 
| CHAIR: Jordi Palet Martinez <jordi.palet@consulintel.es>
| 
| FULL DESCRIPTION:
| 
| The 6bone, the IPv6 testbed network developed under the aegis of the IETF 
| in 1996, is now discussing two important transition topics that need to be 
| discussed further in a session at IETF-56. The transfer of 6bone address 
| management responsibilities to RIRs has been under discussion during 2002 
| and there now needs to be some closure on the topic. An open meeting at 
| IETF-56 will facilitate this.  Also, the planning for the phaseout of the 
| 6bone started in January 2003 and thus needs its first open discussion at 
| IETF-56.
| 
| AGENDA:
| 
| Status and discussion of the proposal for the "transfer of 6bone address 
| management responsibilities to RIRs" - Bob Fink and appropriate RIR folk, 
| 30 minutes
| <http://www.6bone.net/ngtrans/IETF-54-Yokohama/6bone-registry.pdf>
| 
| Presentation of the 6bone phaseout plan - Bob Hinden, 10 mins
| <http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-fink-6bone-phaseout-00.txt>
| 
| Discussion of the 6bone phaseout plan - 20 mins
| ===
| 
| My thanks to Jordi for chairing and Bob Hinden for presenting on phaseout 
| planning as the IESG wanted me to not be the chair and the only speaker.
| 
| 
| 
| Thanks,
| 
| Bob
