Yes Tom, it describes the mission of the IETF and all its activities and how things goes with the IETF, but I think we should give some space for any internet draft to be discussed and reviewed and then decide, IPv10 didn’t take the full chance to be discussed or reviewed here, and this is what I’m looking for, the good minds here can add something valuable to the draft or correct something, but not to discard the draft at all.

I don’t know why till now the IETF didn’t take the IPv10 draft seriously into consideration
You would likely get some benefit reviewing this document : https://www.ietf.org/about/participate/tao/

Hi IETFers,
I still see no progress happens in the IPv6 deployment all over the world and 5 years ago when we started to do analysis we found out now that the migration process going so slow and now the percentage according to google hits 40% which gives an alarm of the internet division due to finding blocks of IPv6 only hosts and IPv4 only hosts in the internet.
I don’t know why till now the IETF didn’t take the IPv10 draft seriously into consideration as it would be applied since it was developed and it wouldn’t take so much time to be deployed in the internet.
I still see no better solution, not because I’m the IPv10 I-D author, but because I keep watching what’s going on on the internet and I see the red flag case will be raised soon due to the incompatibility between IPv4 and IPv6.
I hope I get positive replies because of course I’m not aware with everything happening at the IETF.
Have a good day everyone.

Hi Khaled,
I think IPv10 was discussed already twice maybe on IETF-list, however, the IPv6 is a big protocol and very well discussed for many years, so it is interesting to write a informational-draft about its disadvantages and problems for the current and future technologies. Always start with informational-draft before standard, that is the way IETF WGs do to clarify the problem statement and use-cases.
Also I think that IETF has a majority of IPv6 experts, so it isn't easy to discuss a new one with no interest from long living IETF-Areas, furthermore, it will never be easy to adopt another protocol other than IPv6, because most of other IETF-protocols depend on IPv6 protocol. However, I suggest that your work *firstly* to be proposed/submitted to the IETF-African Community or IETF-Egyptian Community. Also we need to consider that mostly IETF is drived by WGs, so if the first went well the *second* step to be proposed within on WG, because the best discussions are done within IETF Groups not on IETF-list.
Regards
AB
