Re: [Teas] The definition of a Network Slice in draft-nsdt-teas-ietf-network-slice-definition

I think that would be a useful approach.

There are some that have been studying slicing for many years and have a strong view that it applies to many resources in addition to connectivity with compute and storage often cited.

I think acknowledging the wider scope of slicing whilst expressly stating that we are dealing with a narrow subset of the problem that is within our expertise would be a good practical approach.
