Hi Silvija,

Sorry about the delayed response. 

Please see inline,

Is the term still intended in the same respect?

Perhaps, an appropriate term needs to be considered, IMHO.

This should suffice.

Thanks.

Hello BMWG-ers,,

by the leadership of the SIP and SIPPING working groups.

Hi Silvija, BMWG folks,

My apologizes for only sending my comments now.
I won't be able to attend bmwg meeting, but here are the general
comments I have after reading your updated proposal.

Having restructured the document in order to make it agnostic how mVPN
is designed, is definitely a good point, but I still have the concern
that the content itself is in many places still restricted to the
