Let's make this straight: I *don't* want to chair this working group 
:).  I'll rather be a technical contributor only.

At this point, I was just trying to make sure that something keeps 
happening with this proposed WG until someone gets the more official 
responsibility to do that..

Hmm. Maybe the charter should use a bit more generic language to make 
it possible to include an encapsulation as well, if that's deemed 
necessary.. without having to call it out explicitly, conditionally as 
you suggested.

That may mean negotiation or configuration; that is not a requirement 
for the solution.  Basically b) was meant to mean "how a v6-in-v4[udp] 
is set up at the both endpoints of the tunnel".

That might also include specification or guidance on how to get IPv6 
addresses and possibly other information on top of that link.  Again, 
there are multiple ways to achieve that, so the charter wording should
probably be sufficiently generic.
