Actually maybe nvo3 could even sign under "just use a VPN" .. however I 
think that the term VPN has a very broad definition. And as said before 
I am with you that there is area to be covered where current L2VPN and 
L3VPN WG documents do not well cover it.

The comment about nvgre is not to dismiss the need for new WG. It is 
solely to point out that we should reuse as much as possible in anything 
we do. That said I think multiplexing and demultiplexing with GRE 
encapsulation and some tag or label behind it IMHO is a solved problem 
which we may not need to reinvent again.

Many thx,
R.
