		<section title="Introduction">
			<t>This document proposes that Explicit Address Mappings for Stateless IP/ICMP Translation (<xref target="RFC7757"/>) 
			is advanced Internet Standard, following RFC6410 (<xref target="RFC6410"/>).</t>

			<t>(1) There are at least two independent interoperating implementations with widespread 
			deployment and successful operational experience.</t>

			<t>Explicit Address Mappings for Stateless IP/ICMP Translation (<xref target="RFC7757"/>) has been widely implemented by 
			at least a dozen of vendors and its being used in commercial deployments by hundreds of millions of devices.</t>

			<t>(2) There are no errata against the specification that would cause a new implementation to fail 
			to interoperate with deployed ones.</t>

			<t>Explicit Address Mappings for Stateless IP/ICMP Translation (<xref target="RFC7757"/>) has no errata filed.</t>

			<t>(3) There are no unused features in the specification that greatly increase implementation complexity.</t>

			<t>There are no unused features.</t>

			<t>(4) If the technology required to implement the specification requires patented or otherwise 
			controlled technology, then the set of implementations must demonstrate at least two independent, 
			separate and successful uses of the licensing process.</t>

			<t>None.</t>
