The NVO3 charter says: >>> Based on these requirements the WG will select, extend, and/or develop one or more data plane encapsulation format(s). >>> Based on the charter, the WG has gone through the process of accepting to work on 3 encapsulations. What do we know now that we did not know back then? If we were going to progress only a single encapsulation, I think there would have been more critical feedback and strong suggestions for changing that "winning" encapsulation to accommodate what the other encapsulations perceive as their relative strengths. And we risk opening up that discussion now and delaying progress even more. Otherwise, not having a standard has not been a hinderance for getting protocols deployed in the past, and I suspect that if the developers of these encapsulations care enough, we will see deployments of all of them regardless of whether or not we progress them within the working group.
