Hi Dave,
Thanks for your comments.
How about we use the first 2 lines from the background section in the wiki -
http://trac.tools.ietf.org/group/irtf/trac/wiki/nfvrg
"Network Function Virtualization is a key emerging area for network operators,
hardware and software vendors, cloud service providers, and in general network
practitioners and researchers. This area requires exploring new directions and
working collaboratively on how to create network services that utilize a
virtualized infrastructure."
Thanks,
Ramki

The goal of Network Functions Virtualization Research Group (NFVRG) is to
bring together researchers and grow the community around the world in both
academia and industry to explore this new research area through workshops,
research group meetings etc. at premier conferences such as IEEE ICC, IEEE
Globecom and inviting special issues in well-known journals.
This is opening sentence smacks more of marketing than of IRTF work.
The topic is important, but serious work will not be be aided by such language.
