Personally, I think that benefiting all networks would be better.

But then I think there's maybe some more words required to set the
right scope.  A couple of questions:

- Does grow want to focus on "global routing" (which seems to imply
Internet-connected) or on general routing operations?  Or maybe
operations of inter-domain routing protocols?

- So far the focus has been on exterior routing, so mainly interacting
with sidrops/idr makes sense.  The first paragraph talks about
"interactions between interior and exterior routing protocols"; should
the operation of the IGPs also be in scope?  All of them?


I think that we could debate this forever.  Assuming that the WG wants
to keep the current focus, a simple change might be:

At this point I'm just suggesting a color for the bike shed...


Thanks!

Alvaro.
