Besides, IETF already has specified many encapsulations, is it really
that bad having one extra?
If what it does can be done by the already existing ones the answer is a
definitive "Yes it is bad".

Please respond to this email on the NVO3 list by 29th July 2016:
- Given the IETF's mission, should NVO3 move forward on the standards
track with a single encapsulation on the standards track? If not,
please explain your concern in detail.
While the world would be a better place with only one encapsulation, I
think it's better to stick with the original path of allowing the 3
encapsulations as experimental.
The NVO3 charter says:
>>>
Based on these requirements the WG will select, extend, and/or
develop one or more data plane encapsulation format(s).
>>>
Based on the charter, the WG has gone through the process of accepting
to work on 3 encapsulations. What do we know now that we did not know
back then?
If we were going to progress only a single encapsulation, I think
there would have been more critical feedback and strong suggestions
for changing that "winning" encapsulation to accommodate what the
other encapsulations perceive as their relative strengths. And we
risk opening up that discussion now and delaying progress even more.
Otherwise, not having a standard has not been a hinderance for getting
protocols deployed in the past, and I suspect that if the developers
of these encapsulations care enough, we will see deployments of all of
them regardless of whether or not we progress them within the working
group.
Thanks,
Anoop
