[ipv6-wg] RIPE554-bis

Hi,

I’m posting here as a heads-up that an effort has begun to revise RIPE-554, involving the original authors, myself and Tim Winters. We have a 5 min slot tomorrow in the 1pm CET IPv6 WG session to flag the work, to solicit input.

The original publication was back in November 2010 with RIPE-501, which was updated in June 2012 with RIPE-554. 

There’s many references that have been obsoleted, and potentially much to add or remove. References to 2G cellular date the document.

We’d like to begin by addressing the more strategic / structural questions. Such high level questions include:

- Is there agreement to progress a –bis version now?  Eight years have passed, people ask for guidance…
- Should we keep the scope to (largely) enterprise or expand it?  If so, to what?
- Is the linkage to the IPv6 Ready Logo programme still desired?
- Are there new classes of equipment to add, e.g. IoT/low power, WiFi controllers, …?
- Are specific sections outdated, or are there significant new sections to add?
- Should we add guidance on applying the content to different use cases?  As separate docs?  Appendices?

We’ve currently working on the -bis as a Google doc, for which there’s a PDF of the current snapshot available from:

For now, please comment to the list, and maybe start a new thread for new topics.
