Policies that apply to VMs MUST NOT change. The text I proposed
above makes it clear.

Policies that apply to L2 physical domain may, or may not change. 
But what is important is that such policies should not preclude 
implementing policies that apply to VMs. With this in mind how about the
following variation on the above (the only change is the new penultimate
sentence):

    Moving VM from one L2 physical domain to another means
    (among other things) that the NVE in the new domain that
    provides connectivity between this VM and VMs in other L2
    physical domains must be able to implement the policies
    that control connectivity between this VM and VMs in other
    L2 physical domains. In other words, the policies that
    control connectivity between a given VM and its peers
    MUST NOT change as the VM moves from one L2 physical domain
    to another. Moreover, policies, if any, within the L2
    physical domain that contain a given VM MUST NOT preclude 
    realization of the policies that control connectivity between
    this VM and its peers. All of the above is irrespective of 
    whether the L2 physical domains are trivial or not.
