mcast group numbers

I need to know the mcast group numbers that the AG will be using.  I have
gleaned the following virtual venue group numbers:

	Bridgeport Room video       |video| 224.2.213.27|56022
	Bridgeport Room audio       |audio|224.2.174.235|17298
	Full Sail Room video        |video|224.2.132.254|51258
	Full Sail Room audio        |audio|224.2.215.244|21288
	Lucky Labrador Room video   |video| 224.2.235.11|53278
	Lucky Labrador Room audio   |audio|224.2.235.201|25888
	Jack Frost Room video       |video|224.2.217.188|60704
	Jack Frost Room audio       |audio| 224.2.200.65|18452
	Windmer Room video          |video|  224.2.246.5|60836
	Windmer Room audio          |audio| 224.2.190.98|21892
	Big Horn Room video         |video|224.2.134.109|62672
	Big Horn Room audio         |audio| 224.2.214.49|24474
	SC99 Access Grid Lobby video|video|224.2.177.155|55524
	SC99 Access Grid Lobby audio|audio|224.2.211.167|16964

Now, knowing these, my questions are..

 will the AG (as coordinated by ANL) be using any other mcast group numbers?

 (suggestion here) can we get ANL (and any other participating AG sites that

   want to coordinate their own virtual venue space, presumably linked off
of the
   ANL pages) to use the I2 centric model of "glop" multicast addresses in
the
   233.x.x.x/8 space?

The reason I need to know this is because of a local campus issue.  At KU,
[for now] we are rolling out mcast routing on our productional backbone in a
limited fashion.  There are too many known local campus 'gotcha' issues and
many we do not know about yet that are driving us to do some proactive
thinking before just blindly rolling out the mcast service everywhere.  My
local group that I am involved with, needs (and has) some initial mcast
support for the AG/Chautauqua initiative participation.  Thus I want to only
enable (to a related _very_ important engineering network) only a part of
the mcast address space, so I need some definitive scoping of addresses.  I
would feel more comfortable with "glop" address scoping, esp. only on the
ANL part of glop.

thoughts??
