As much as I agree that we should honor significant IETF contributors like Fred, I’m worried that reserving an IPv6 address for this seems a bit ‘cliquish’, and contrary to the intent of IPv6. What do we want to happen if such an address is used in the destination field of an IPv6 packet? And who decides whether or not a deceased IETF contributor is ’significant’ enough to be honored in this way? Why not do this for all deceased IETF members? Or all deceased (or living) humans; we do, indeed, have enough space within a /64 for this? Ross.
