Sticking my oar in as co-chair of the BOF -- which gives me no extra
influence, but affords some minor "moderator" status for the time
being:

Good: it sounds like VWRAP is, um... a wrap.

As I read things, it should stand for Virtual World Region/Agent
Protocols (note the final "s"), giving the name the flexibility to
cover multiple related protocols (one of which could certainly be
called "VWRAP" as well, and would, in that case, have no "s".

I think that from an IETF point of view, having "virtual world" in the
name is critical.  I don't think it makes anyone think that it covers
all aspects of virtual worlds, nor does it cut off anyone else who
wants some other virtual world work started.

It seems to me that we have reasonable consensus on the name... and
that we're just about ready with the charter.

Excitement reigns.
