My suggestion in Berlin will be to ask to include an API item in the 
charter and suggest the socket draft as a starting point. I hope that 
other implementors will participate to the draft so that we can have an 
API that it common to all MPTCP implementations. select is one option 
for the notifications, recvmsg/sendmsg, kqueues, etc. Ideally, we should 
document the available API and ask feedback from developpers to improve 
them.
