The Steering Committee approved the release of this paper at our meeting last week.  During our discussions I did report to them your comments received during the recent consultations.  

May I suggest that if you want us to re-consider the content and messages of the paper that you provide us with some alternative text, and pointers to published material that contradicts the wide advice on this topic and in particular the recent report from the OECD/ITAC committee.  We will re-consider anything that you provide and include an alternative and balanced LISP view if we feel it appropriate.

Regards
John

I urge the committee/OASIS to reconsider the release of
this document.  It both significantly overstates the importance
of a transition as well as fails completely to account for the
emergence of LISP over the next 2-3 years.  That is the
important transition, not IPv4 to IPv6.

There have also been an increasing number of studies and
articles noting the reality of the transition not occurring in the
network infrastructure, and its increasing irrelevance.  One
would expect an OASIS report to minimally state more than
one perspective.

I realize that diverse government/intergovernmental reports
and IPv6 promotional materials exist - as they have for the
past 15 years - but that's what they are, marketing material
that doesn't reflect reality.

best,
tony
