[ppml] Those pesky ULAs again

[Edward Lewis]

I've been curious about the ULA Central issue and finally had a 
chance to read the most recent (but expired) draft maintained on the 
tools.ietf.org site.  Being curious about why it is an expired draft, 
I found this message in the archives for the WG and read through the 
follow ups to it.

http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipv6/current/msg04751.html

I have also sent mail to the editors in an attempt to find out why 
the draft is where it is.  There isn't anything in the follow ups 
that seem to say that ULA is a dead idea - a few messages support 
going forward then a few messages question the need for ULA in light 
of an ARIN proposal in 2005.

My opinion on this is that there is nothing for ARIN to do with 
respect to this, nothing tangible to discuss.  I can't find anything 
on the IETF site that indicates if there is any future movement to be 
expected either.  From my read of the expired draft, I don't see a 
reason that it would be progressed.  That is, it seems to be leading 
down the same dead end as other scoped addresses (site local).
