This message starts a 2-week Call for Adoption for this document.

Abstract:
   This document describes a method that allows multiple MLS clients to
   emulate a virtual MLS client.  A virtual client allows multiple
   emulator clients to jointly participate in an MLS group under a
   single leaf.  Depending on the design of the application, virtual
   clients can help hide metadata and improve performance.
