RE: On BGP and VPLS

Rick, Marco

  I concur with Kireeti - based on Alex previous e-mails,  a consensus
already created during the last three weeks should not be impacted by the
new re-org, which in Alex's view is more a management issue, to offload the
work of the current WG.

  Reading again the e-mails from Alex, it was not stipulated anywhere that a
re-org would trigger a new process of selecting the WDs. 

Cheers
   Vasile

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.
