NAME OF I-D:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ooms-mpls-multicast-te-00.txt
SUMMARY
There are several reasons for operators to construct multicast trees
by another means than multicast routing protocols. This document
lists these reasons and describes 2 ways of building a multicast
traffic-engineered tree: root-initiated tree and leaf-initiated tree.
Finally it defines extensions to CR-LDP to support MPLS multicast
traffic engineering.

WHERE DOES IT FIT IN THE PICTURE OF THE SUB-IP WORK
The document answers 2 questions: the answer to the why-question belongs
to TE-WG, the answer to the how-question belongs to either CCAMP-C or
MPLS.

WHY IS IT TARGETED AT THIS WG
from TE-WG charter: ... main focus of the optimization being minimizing
over-utilization of capacity when other capacity is available in the
network ...
from CCAMP charter: Using input from the TE working group, ensure that
the signalling and measurement protocols provide both the information
and the control functions
adequate to support the traffic provisioning and engineering operations
of service providers.
JUSTIFICATION
it's inside the scope of the charter(s)
