Interestingly i could not find the work "renumbering" anywhere
in the charter. I am assuming it should be understood implicitly.
 So, there are two cases

1) Site is multihomed and one of the links to the ISP is broken and
   how we get around this without breaking any connections.
   
2) Site is multihomed and there is a long running e.g. TCP connection 
   which needs to survive in the case of renumbering.
    
So, we are addressing (1) in this WG. Hence, the use of word renumbering
is confusing to me. Could somebody clarify this ?
