NVO3 will consider approaches to multi-tenancy that reside at the network layer rather than using traditional isolation mechanisms I know we have been dancing around this and there is a lot of paranoia.

This may be sensitive because the PWE3 charter (which had to handle a similar question) explicitly called out IP and MPLS. I can't think of a better way of saying what the text says other than "network layer" but perhaps, for the avoidance of doubt, Stewart could put an email in the archive that says "I confirm that the phrase 'network layer' in the context of the NVO3 charter does not exclude MPLS." Then (hopefully) we can all move along and do the real work :-)
