Re: [Lsvr] Kicking off the LSVR (Link State Vector Routing) charter discussion

[Pushpasis Sarkar <[e-mail]>]

Hi All,

I went through the charter details, and it seems to be in a quite good
state to get things started. Hoping we can accommodate some changes
here and there (if at all needed).

Looking forward to contributing more on this soon.

Thanks and regards,
