The IESG has completed a review of draft-gont-dhcpv6-stable-privacy-addresses-01 consistent with RFC5742. The IESG has no problem with the publication of 'A Method for Generating Semantically Opaque Interface Identifiers with Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6)' <draft-gont-dhcpv6-stable-privacy-addresses-01.txt> as an Informational RFC. The IESG has concluded that this work is related to IETF work done in the dhc WG, but this relationship does not prevent publishing. Additionally, the IESG requests the following note be added to the document if it is published: A predecessor to this document [draft-ietf-dhc-stable-privacy-addresses] was earlier a working group document in the dhc WG. The WG decided to stop further work in this area because such work was not considered useful. The proposal described in this document has an unaddressed failure case that makes it unsuitable for use as the mechanism to provide the claimed failover features for DHCPv6 servers. Specifically, when a DHCPv6 client DECLINEs a provided address there is no recovery mechanism described that will result in the DHCPv6 client obtaining a working IPv6 address. The IESG would also like the Independent Submissions Editor to review the comments in the datatracker related to this document and determine whether or not they merit incorporation into the document. Comments may exist in both the ballot and the history log. The IESG review is documented at: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/conflict-review-gont-dhcpv6-stable-privacy-addresses/ A URL of the reviewed Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-gont-dhcpv6-stable-privacy-addresses/ The process for such documents is described at https://www.rfc-editor.org/indsubs.html Thank you, The IESG Secretary
