I agree.

Exactly. The to-be-formed WG should not only focus on LISP, but also focus
on other map&encap solutions. Just as Yakov etc. pointed out, there are
still some open issues in LISP need to be answered. If many different
map&encaps solutions can be explored further simultaneously under this WG
charter, we may find they are complementary and can be converged finally to
form a successful short-term solution.
