Dear All,

This is requested agenda item to WG co-chairs.
Chairs suggested us to send e-mail to the mailing list, 
and we follow the suggestion and send e-mail here.

As below attached announcement mail shows, this I-D discusses on NAME
issues for IPv6 addresses. We believe proposed ideas will strongly
contribute to solve some parts of NAME related issues of the Homenet
architecture.

So, could you please read this I-D, and let us know your comments.
Your comments are welcome.
We will be able to answer them at Taipei meeting session.  

Since this I-D is version -00.txt, some parts of this I-D have not
been completed yet. After we get feed back comments from you, we will
complete this.

Thank you.

Regards,
Hiroshi
