If there was ever any implication that documents from other authors would
not be welcome, let me dispel that now: within the charter of the working
group, please please please contribute your thoughts and suggestions as
informally or formally as you see fit (within the auspices of the NOTE WELL
yadda yadda). Additional drafts from new authors are explicitly welcome.

(The caveat being that submitting a revision to another author's draft
without consent or discussion about hand-off is considered bad form, and
leads to extreme difficulties in tracking changes.)

The charter page http://www.ietf.org/dyn/wg/charter/vwrap-charter provides a
roadmap of the expected pieces of the protocol, with completion dates for
some of them estimated as two years from now. No work has begun on many of
them, nor is it established that the list is sufficient for defining the
sort of interop VWRAP envisions.

There are also several chunks mentioned in the charter that are reasonably
independent of the others that could be tackled now with little dependency
on other work. I'd encourage list contributors to pick those up, either to
begin discussion or start documenting and providing sample implementations.
