Technical Summary
The objective of this document is to describe what the whitelisting

whitelisting, as well as the implications of this emerging practice
and what alternatives may exist. The audience for this document is
the Internet community generally, including the IETF and IPv6
implementers.
Working Group Summary
During the WGLC, Doug Barton captured the major criticism of the
document thusly:
However I return to my main premise which is:
1. 99.9% of the organizations who have chose this solution
already understand these issues, and
2. The 0.1% who don't, don't care.
While I think that's a valid concern I'm not sure that it results in
a lack of utility for the information present. Consensus squarely
favors publication and we feel that the document will be
informative and useful in it's present form.
