on the ieprep recharter

To the IEPREP WG,

After considerable deliberation within the IESG, I am sorry to report =
that the IESG is not comfortable approving the IEPREP charter as it =
stands.=20

In particular, the IESG is concerned about a perceived lack of focus in =
the deliverables, and collectively feels that it is difficult to assess =
the support of the community for this charter. Some of the =
open-endedness in the charter about non-real-time communications has =
given rise to questions about the diverse expertise required to complete =
the work. Concerns about whether or not the IETF is the proper venue for =
this work continue to be expressed within the IESG as well.

At this time, the rough consensus in the IESG is that in order for the =
charter to progress, the community would have to affirm its support for =
the work in the context of a BoF. The IESG is willing to participate in =
honing the charter for such a BoF if this is the direction you'd like to =
take it.

I am sorry after such a long time to be returning with another negative =
response. I do believe that the response reflects an informed consensus =
of the IESG.
