That's fine - an update to section 1.1 could state that the name is
there for historic reasons, but that the scope is positively meant to be
wider than Network.

There was only this one opinion on the list - so maybe it's worth asking
the room how folks feel during the IETF90 meeting? I won't be there,
unfortunately ...

Greetings,

Stefan
