Hi Martin and all, as promised, some more feedback[, though later than planned, sorry.] I'll not comment on the nits here.

As James and Joe already mentioned, I think that it would be a good starting point to first - identify the virtual network resources that need to be controlled and managed, derive some requirements for them - work on a network virtualization framework (identifying the different roles/actors and their interaction). - identify control interfaces as well as requirements for interoperability, especially in the background of creating and running virtual networks across provider domains.
