The chairs did ask Martin to enquire from the IESG what level of standards
this document should target.  We realize that the base vxlan spec (oddly) is
Informational, however we were encouraged at multiple points to go for
Proposed standard.

Martin theoretically enquired of the IESG, but got no answer.  We were told
on November 6 to go ahead with Proposed.

The BFD Working Group is ambivalent about the level of standard for this
document.  My request is that the IESG provide some level of consistent
guidance here rather than your single comment. :-)

I leave it to our AD, Martin, to summarize back the final status of your
collective deliberations and we shall update the document accordingly.
