Reading the discussion between Matt, Eric, et al, it seems that
we have two main questions at hand:

 1. Should the charter define the level of transparency of
    the L2 VPN mechanisms to the higher-layer protocols, and
    if so, what should the required level be?

 2. Should the charter say that the WG will work with IEEE 802.1
    to ensure proper interworking.

My reading of the discussion on the first item is that we don't have a
strong case for spelling out that a perfect emulation is required.
If anyone disagrees, please speak up.

I didn't see a discussion on the second issue, but it seems like a
reasonable proposal to me.
