My suggestion would be to capture day one in the charter that 
"IP-only l2vpn" services needs to be developed that includes IPLS and
IP-only l2vpn interworking -
instead of specifying IPLS now and l2vpn interworking later on.

It is beneficial to address ip-only interworking while 
l2vpn requirements and framework drafts are being worked out 
(and not later on), particularly there has been some work 
already done on this topic.
