RE: charter

I believe what Ran proposed in fact is a universal benefit to ISPs and
users. If we can achieve the goals (and I think reqs) below I believe cost
will be reduced and reduce the need for load balancing and TE greatly.
Because if the multihome solution optimizes the DFZ then cost is reduced for
all.
