Hi folks,

Could the person(s) who made the following suggestions please clarify what
you meant? (a paragraph would be nice). Please send your description
to me, copy <[email-masked]>

Current technical issues

	* How does a client request addresses from multiple prefixes?

DHCPv4 features to carry forward/misfeatures to avoid/missing features to add

	* "Echo option" - client retains and echoes option value from server

	* Explicit "change server" mechanism

DHCPv6 new features

	* Consistency across client implementations:
		- List of client-supported options
		- Client can explicitly reject options as unsupported/unrequested
		- Alternative actions: what to do if option unrecognized,
		  unrequested, ...
		- Requested values: client gives range of desired values.

Document structure
	
	* Additional discussion needed about why complicated actions  are mandated
	  and how there were arrived at. WG to send input to authors about parts
	  of the spec that require additional discussion. Could the WG please
	  do this?

Thanks much for your input,
