RE: On BGP and VPLS

 
Kireeti,
 
Apparently my previous message was in error in linking the planning to spllit the group with the delay in deciding on working group status of documents. 
 
We have planned a conference on Monday which may resolve other WG issues independent of  reorganization plans.
 
Rick

	What's the rationale for holding off declarations of consensus?  This
	decision is two weeks overdue, and the split (if it happens) could take
	several more weeks.
	
	It would be a complete travesty if a simple consensus call took weeks
	but a major decision like a split of the WG was completed in a hurry --
	for one, it would suggest that the split was preordained, and not a
	joint WG decision, a point that Bilel was seeking clarification on.
