Why don't we keep the WG open until the WG drafts are finished?
We can probably do this on the mailing list and don't need a face2face meeting, but as such you keep the WG alive until the work is done.

Subject: Possible Shutdown of L3VPN
Dear WG members;
With the Paris meeting coming up, we felt that you should know that
there has been serious discussion of shutting down the L3VPN working
group, both because of a decline of work in the group, and because of the
expected new work to come from the DC effort is likely to require a
new working group with a different focus.
If the WG were to be wound down, the basic choices for existing drafts are
- to go to last call with the drafts that are ready for it or
- to put outstanding WG drafts into another WG, such as MPLS, or
- to have the ADs sponsor "orphaned" drafts that don't fit in another
WG as individual submissions.
We have polled the current draft authors, and do not see any
insurmountable difficulties with this process.
There doesn't at present seem to be enough business to warrant another
L3VPN meeting in Paris. However, we feel that the future of the WG
(and of the work)
should be discussed in person, so we plan to request time on the
agenda to discuss this at
the RTGAREA meeting.
If anyone feels that closing L3VPN would be a mistake, now is the time
to speak up.
Regards
Marshall Eubanks / Ben Niven-Jenkins
