First, this smells much like ISO thing to do so we'd need an agreement/liason
first from their side. That is obviously only worth pursuiting if we have
authors commiting to provide the cycles first.

Second, which workgroup ? One of the MPLS offsprings such as GSMP ;-) ? What about 
a new one, IPSO (IP over SOnet) ? I'm joking but wouldn't be surprised
if the joke find takers ;-) ?
