RE: Discussion on Charter

Traditionally, the strongest form of persuasion in the IETF is to have an
actual draft-RFC from which others can comment on, and in this case, decide
whether the document is a reasonable starting point to re-charter a group (or
if it should go into another group, remain an individual submission, or simply
expire).

the rare exception that comes to mind is the MANET wg, which recently migrated
its charter from experimental work to proposed standards.  But I doubt that the
exception will change the tradition.  If there are specific draft(s) that you'd
like to put forth that would cover the following, I'd encourage you or others
to submit them.

> - Preemption of Inelastic traffic sessions
> - Routing and QoS for nested VPNs
> - MLPP/GETS capabilities for application protocols like SIP, and
> signaling protocols like RSVP
> - etc.
