This is rather obvious and I have seen consensus around it (although only the chairs can assess consensus), but the issue is the wording as far as my understanding goes. David is trying to find wording, but it isn't simple to avoid the interference with normal networking operations. Let's wait for the next round of wording from David.. I'm thinking about words too. --Rigo
