(for full disclosure I'm one of the authors of VXLAN-GPE) Matt, Sam, Alia, I've expressed multiple times and in multiple venues my adversity (and the motivations) to set this group to design yet another encapsulation. I won't repeat it here once again, but I want to re-assert that it's still were I stand. I've seen quite a few people in the mailing list here expressing similar concerns, but I see that it has not changed the opinion of the chairs and the AD on what they believe is the best way to move forward. That said, here are my comments to the charter. I think the design team first goal should be to clearly articulate the shortcomings of the current encapsulations proposed to the WG. This should be the very first deliverable of the design team. The actual design work should start only once the WG has reached consensus on that document. Especially considering that some of the encapsulations proposed are being deployed, I think articulating the shortcomings will help to make the best choice in term of (1) selecting which one will need to be extended, and (2) designing the actual extensions. Below are my proposals on how to modify the wording of the charter.
