I still find that last sentence difficult to parse "issues and opportunities from these shutdowns have resulted in innovations in network operation" e.g. if take the first part, "issues in shutdowns resulting in innovations in network operation" is doublespeak. I don't think ops folks see their issues with such rose-colored glasses. And the sentence seems opposite of the charter of the working group, e.g. item #1 and #2, as the charter is about identifying operational issues. If issues resulted in innovations, we wouldn't need this group:-) I'd suggest instead of "selling" the innovations of global deployment in this sentence, rephrase it to be specific on the charter goals. How about: "An important aspect of IPv6 deployment has been the operational issues with the shutdown of IPv4 networks and operational interaction issues with IPv4 networks."

I'm a Yes, but I'm not a Responsible AD Yes. The ballot tab says "ready w/o external review", but both questions are on the ballot itself. I wouldn't object to external review if other people thought it was important, but I'm happier if people in other SDOs assume we're already looking at deployment experience :D. The following is a nit, of course. The last sentence in "The global deployment of IPv6 is underway, creating an Internet consisting of IPv4-only, IPv6-only, IPv4-IPv6 dual-stack, and IPv6+translation networks and nodes. This deployment must be properly handled to avoid the division of the Internet into separate IPv4 and IPv6 networks, ensuring addressing and connectivity for all IPv4 and IPv6 nodes. An important aspect of that has been the shutdown of IPv4 in some networks, which has resulted in innovations in network operation." took me three reads to parse. If you think it could be more clear, I might suggest replacing it with "An important aspect of IPv6 deployment has been the shutdown of IPv4 in some networks, and this shutdown has resulted in innovations in network operation". And, now that I think I understand what is being said, I wonder if "An important aspect of IPv6 deployment has been the shutdown of IPv4 in some networks, and issues and opportunities from these shutdowns have resulted in innovations in network operation", matching your new goal #3 (issues, opportunities, innovations) might be clearer. But Yes, please change the charter to do this work, however you describe it!

I am highly supportive of this charter but I want to make sure that one item is addressed. v6ops has traditionally worked on CPE router requirements and I do not see any mention of this in the charter. I would like to see some verbiage added in this regard.

On the issue about whether to rewrite or omit the text regarding innovations resulting from v4 shutdown -- I agree with Deborah's position here that this kind of spin seems awkwardly out of place in the charter, and is unrelated to the work the WG will be taking on. My preference would be removing it.

I think this is ready for approval without external review. I stumbled over the same sentence as Spencer. Since I went to the trouble to compose proposed new text before reading his, I'll include that here--but I'm okay with Spencer's suggestion as well. Last sentence in the first paragraph: OLD: An important aspect of IPv6 deployment has been the shutdown of IPv4 in some networks, and issues and opportunities from these shutdowns have resulted in innovations in network operation NEW: IPv6 deployment has resulted in the shutdown of IPv4 in some networks. These shutdowns have resulted in innovations in network operations. END.
