Subject: WG Review: Dynamic Host Configuration (dhc)

The Dynamic Host Configuration (dhc) WG in the Internet Area of the IETF is
undergoing rechartering. The IESG has not made any determination yet. The
following draft charter was submitted, and is provided for informational
purposes only. Please send your comments to the IESG mailing list
(iesg@ietf.org) by 2018-03-06.

Charter: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/charter-ietf-dhc/

The Dynamic Host Configuration Working Group (DHC WG) has developed DHCP
for automated allocation, configuration and management of IP addresses,
IPv6 prefixes, IP protocol stack and other parameters. DHCPv4 is
currently a Draft Standard and is documented in RFC 2131 and RFC 2132.
DHCPv6 is currently a Proposed Standard and is being updated. The WG
plans to advance the DHCPv6 protocol to full standard.

The DHC WG is responsible for defining DHCP protocol extensions.
Definitions of new DHCP options that are delivered using standard
mechanisms with documented semantics are not considered a protocol
extension and thus are generally outside of scope for the DHC WG. Such
options should be defined within their respective WGs or sponsored by an
appropriate AD and reviewed by DHCP experts in the Internet Area
Directorate. However, if such options require protocol extensions or new
semantics, the protocol extension work must be done in the DHC WG.

The DHC WG has the following main objectives:

1. Informational documents providing operational or implementation advice
about DHCPv6, as well as documents specifying standard mechanisms for
operating, administering and managing DHCPv6 servers, clients, and relay
agents.

2. Assist other WGs and independent submissions in defining options
(that follow RFC 7227 guidelines) and to assure DHCP operational
considerations are properly documented.

3. Issue an updated version of the DHCPv6 base specification, and after
an appropriate interval following publication, advance to full standard.

Milestones:

  Mar 2018 - WGLC draft-ietf-dhc-dhcp4o6-saddr-opt

  Mar 2018 - WGLC draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv4-forcerenew-extensions

  Mar 2018 - WGLC draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-lwm2m-bootstrap-options

  Aug 2018 - WGLC draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-yang

  Mar 2019 - Advance 3315bis RFC to Internet Standard

   significant number of vendors indicated their plan to
   implement the specification?  Are there any reviewers that
   merit special mention as having done a thorough review,
   e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a

   what was its course (briefly)?  In the case of a Media Type
   Review, on what date was the request posted?
