Re: [mpls] would the WG like to adopt draft-farrelll-mpls-opportunistic-encrypt?

Working Group,

<chair hat off>

I've read the draft (a while ago) and I think this document is within
the wg charter and should be progressed by the mpls wg.

(chair hat on>

If I hear nothing to the contrary I will start the process with
mpls-rt review, IPR poll and wg adoption poll first week of May.

There has been some comments, but I think those are address. Please
read and comment on the draft.
