I agree.

This statement is contradictory. If we're going to revisit, why issue a
working group draft before finishing the discussion?

W.r.t consensus, I don't believe enough information was available
at the last meeting to make a decision on proceeding with the Kompella
draft as a WG draft, specifically, the need for flooding optitimization
with the propsoed bundling approach. I don't mind if a decision on this
is made after another round of discussions on the mailing list prior to
the next meeting.

Bala
