The placement of my draft in the proposed agenda is fine for me,
though it will be more productive to remove all the NHRP related
presentations from the agenda.

The proof was available as an Internet Draft just before the last
IETF meeting and disscussed there. And, I reminded the member of
ION about the draft several weeks ago.

So far, counter arguments, or something like that, I could have
observed were:

	We don't need scalability

or

	We don't need large clouds

which means we don't need hopefully-but-actually-not scalable
protocol over non-IP maybe-large clouds.

That is, we don't need NHRP as an alternative to ATMARP and MARS.

If there is some people who think you need time for the last-chance
discussion to protect NHRP, please say so.

Otherwise, I think we can abandon NHRP without further discussion.
