NAME OF I-D:

 
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mpls-multicast-05.txt


SUMMARY

   This document offers a framework for IP multicast deployment in an
   MPLS environment.  Issues arising when MPLS techniques are applied to
   IP multicast are overviewed.  The pros and cons of existing IP
   multicast routing protocols in the context of MPLS are described and
   the relation to the different trigger methods and label distribution
   modes are discussed.  The consequences of various layer 2 (L2)
   technologies are listed.  Both point-to-point and multi-access
   networks are considered.

WHY IS IT TARGETED AT THIS WG

from MPLS charter: 
8. Complete work in progress for specifying the framework for IP
multicast over label switched paths. 


JUSTIFICATION

it's explicitly mentioned in the charter
