	Although Townsley and Ross/Ward should declare
which WGs are most relevant for this draft, my two
cents are that although PWE3 and MPLS are surely relevant to the
draft as-written, I don't see where CCAMP (or any other WG)
needs to be involved other than PWE3 since the purpose of
the draft is to show how the requirements for T-MPLS can
be solved using a few "off the shelf" and already deployed
protocols.

	Why do charters need to be updated? If you have read the draft,
we have shown how a "comprehensive T-MPLS solution" can be built only
using existing (and deployed) protocols.  What you are advocating is
slowing down the progress on this issue with needless procedural  
process.

	Perhaps you could elaborate on this statement?

	I think the point is that the IETF leadership has already
decided to pursue T-MPLS by virtue of it being a true subset of
MPLS/PWE3. I don't see why any further procedural actions are
necessary to move this work forward.

	Please be specific.

	Please be specific.

	Although this is true, adding these is not difficult, and
is something that is already being discussed as part of the MH-VCCV
work.
