What I (with the wg chair hat on) think this is about is to add the
piece about mpls-tp to the mpls wg charter.

We've discussed in the wg and have wg consensus to do that.

A couple of milestones are also being changed.

Having said that, I'm also of the opinion that we need a major revision
of the mpls wg charter, e.g. for the reasons Eric discusses above.

However, that process needs to start in the working and have wg
consensus when we ask the IESG for the update. I can see that it
will be necessary to start process during the autumn.
