Hi Luigi, Joel Thanks for the draft, I think it describes very relevant action items for LISP.
I would also suggest exploring a flexible data-modeling language as a complement to LCAF for LISP control. LCAF is too rigid and it lacks of design guidelines to define new ones. A flexible language with a clear syntax would ease deployment of new use-cases both at the data and control plane. Maybe this could be done as experimental (not standard).
