While it sounds like there is agreement that the problem needs to be addressed by the working group, it would be useful to at least have an explicit mention of multicast somewhere in the charter. Perhaps we could change the following line from: "The NVO3 WG will develop solutions for network virtualization based on the following architectural tenets:" to: "The NVO3 WG will develop solutions for network virtualization covering both unicast and multicast traffic handling based on the following architectural tenets:" Anoop
