To date, I've tried to avoid mentioning Multipath on list and bring it up now only as it relates to the WG Charter Milestones.

Can you be more explicit on how your proposals affect the current Multipath extension document dates? I could infer that the proposed changes to the core docs are independent of the extension doc, or more realistically the rescheduling also punts Multipath off another ~6 months (minimum) or until QUIC V2. What is more aligned with your current thinking?

Kind regards
Lucas
