Appendix G - Acknowledgments
Reaching this stage of the recommendation would not have been even
vaguely possible without the efforts of many people. In particular,
the work of IPng Directorate (listed in Appendix B), Frank Kastenholz
and Craig Partridge (the authors of the Criteria document) along with
Jon Crowcroft (who co-chaired the ngreq BOF) was critical. The work
and cooperation of the chairs, members and document authors of the
three IPng proposal working groups, the ALE working group and the
TACIT working group laid the groundwork upon which this
recommendation sits.
We would also like to thank the many people who took the time to
respond to RFC1550 and who provided the broad understanding of the
many requirements of data networking that any proposal for an IPng
must address.
The members of the IESG, the IAB, and the always active participants
in the various mailing lists provided us with many insights into the
issues we faced.
Many other individuals gave us sometimes spirited but always useful
counsel during this process. They include (in no particular order)
Radia Perlman, Noel Chiappa, Peter Ford, Dave Crocker, Tony Li, Dave
Piscitello, Vint Cerf and Dan Lynch.
Thanks to David Williams and Cheryl Chapman who took on the
occasionally impossible task of ensuring that what is written here
resembles English to some degree.
To all of the many people mentioned above and those we have skipped
in our forgetfulness, thank you for making this task doable.
