Dear all,

You may have seen the update to our drafts on problem statement and gap analysis for Internet addressing, to be found at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-jia-intarea-scenarios-problems-addressing/ and https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-jia-intarea-internet-addressing-gap-analysis/, respectively, as announced in the email below.

In order to further the engagement and feedback on this work, we are organizing a side meeting on Monday, the 8th of November, 2021 at 18.00 UTC (after the end of the regular sessions that day) that is focused on those drafts. After a brief introduction to set the stage, we will engage with a panel of experts on questions relating to the aspects raised in our drafts, those questions stemming from the viewpoints and work those experts have been doing in the past.

We expect to bring the ensuing discussions around those questions into the wider discussion on the INT area mailing list, helping us gauge the interest and support for the work we have been doing with those two drafts and understand possible ways forward for this work. To start this process, we will provide a summary of the side meeting in our presentation to the INT area WG on Tuesday, the 9th of November.

Further information on the detailed agenda, the list of experts confirmed, and any meeting material will be posted soon on the IETF side meeting wiki (https://trac.ietf.org/trac/ietf/meeting/wiki/112sidemeetings).

Please do consider participating in this event to contribute to this important discussion on how to advance Internet addressing.

Best,

Dirk (on behalf of the drafts co-authors)

Subject: [Int-area] I-D. Updates on Internet Addressing: Problem statement and Gap analysis

Dear all,

2 drafts around "internet addressing" have been updated recently, namely:

- Internet Addressing: Problem statements (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-jia-intarea-scenarios-problems-addressing/)
- Internet Addressing: Gap analysis (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-jia-intarea-internet-addressing-gap-analysis/)

The first draft (Problem statements) provides various issues regarding addressing in a number of scenarios, while the second draft (Gap Analysis) provides an analysis of extensions to identified key properties of Internet addressing.

We are soliciting feedback from IETF community on the problems, issues, and gaps identified in those drafts, e.g., in terms of issues missed, extensions (to Internet addressing) to be added but also towards the aim of these drafts to stimulate discussion on how we can progress Internet addressing for future uses.

Any comments on this topic are, definitely, always appreciated.

Thanks,
Yihao Jia (on behalf of all authors)
