IPv6 Working Group Charter -draft
-----------------------------------


1. Name : 6bone (IPv6) Working Group 

2. Goals

    Goals are promote IPv6 development, get operational experience
    and feed back to the protocol.

    Several IPv6 Implementations
    Hydrangea distribution, runs on BSD/OS, FreeBSD
    v6d, user-space implementation, almost machine independent
    Commercial implementations, Hitachi, Fujitsu, NEC and Toshiba
    
    Tunnel (over current cloud, SG-JP: up by end of Nov 97)
    Native ATM (a few months after APAN operational, encoding?)

3. Activities

    IPv6 link between WIDE and Singapore has been established.
    It is *not* a tunnel link but a native ATM PVC link between Hitachi (WIDE)
    and Cisco (SingaREN). BGP4+ connection has also been established and the
    connection is drawn in the 6bone backbone site map. Roland Yo is the
    contact of SingaREN and Akira Kato is the contact of WIDE in this
    context.

    Currently the link is shutdown for a while due to a higher layer
    (> layer 7) event, however, it is expected to be reconvered in the
    second week of June.

    We have started to discuss address assignment to APAN/KR -- especially
    KAIST counterpart. Woohyong Choi is the contact at the moment.

4.Meetings

     IPv6:  Get together on 1997.12.9 during IETF in D.C.
