Many thanks to everyone who participated in this morning's
BOF.  We'll be sending along complete minutes when those are
available but in the meantime I took notes on some of the
areas that have been identified as needing additional
clarification in both the problem statement and the draft
charter.  These include:

problem statement

Clarify issues around why virtualized functions are distinct from 
physical ones  <-----
discuss degraded performance
clarify what we mean by "transport"
discuss transfer of security state
make sure that problem statement and charter align
Align use cases, consolidate commonalities
Need a lexicon/terminology section
tease apart issues related to pooling vs. service graph

charter:
failover performance
may be issues with inter-pool coordination
clarify what's meant by service availability being out of scope
need to investigate whether or not we have state sharing expertise in 
those participating
need to be clearer about the boundaries of the work
business case and state synchronization
application vs. pool state

We'll be working on revisions of both and will get those sent out
in the next few weeks.  In the meantime, contributions of text
are always (ALWAYS) welcome.

Many thanks,

Melinda
