Correction on the previous announcement:

The NGtrans/DNSext chairs would like to make a call for participation
in the upcoming joint meeting.

The goal of the meeting is to facilitate consensus on how IPv6
addresses are represented in DNS and related issues. This meeting
requires extensive homework by participants and the chairs would like
to request submission of documents for a reading list for this meeting.

The output from the meeting will be draft consensus proposal.

Here is non exclusive a list of relevant topics:

1 - Design tradeoffs in DNS and IPv6 (AAAA, A6, DNAME, bit string)

       - DNS operational considerations including DNSSEC
         costs in regard of address record format
       - DNS implementation complications due to address record format
       - IPv6 Remembering requirements and impact on address record
         format
       - Case for A6
       - Case for AAAA
       - transition from ip6.int to ip6.arpa
       - transition from AAAA to A6

2 - tools/protocols/strategies to bridge IPv6 and IPv4 DNS resolution

Anybody wishing to make a presentation should send a draft
to the chairs of this meeting before July 26th 2001, 21:00 UTC
