Please do so on this list, by sending mail to architecture-discuss@xxxxxxx (our public discussion list) or to iab@xxxxxxxx (to reach just the IAB). You can also discuss with individual IAB members in Prague. In 6man we have a discussion triggered by a draft (slaac-renum) where “for-the-users” is very relevant (thank you for publishing). The discussion is exposing the tussle between network operators wanting operational freedom of being able to instantly renumber end-user networks against the end-user’s expectation of stable addressing (and planned renumbering). The stronger the IETF consensus behind this document, the easier it will be to use it to guide working group discussion and decisions. Cheers, Ole
