These decisions are made by a triumvirate of the working group, the
ADs, and the chair.  I think that right now, given the circumstances
of this working group, it's reasonable to expect a certain level of
maturity in any ancillary work we agree to take on.  My personal bias
is that there's a role for the work in some future network that may or
may not come into existence but that it's less clear that there's a role
for it today.  That's why I'm interested in seeing the issues that
Jonathan raised be answered with something fairly specific.

The conditions that have to exist for the working group to recharter
to take on a new deliverable include but aren't limited to: 1) wg 
consensus,
2) AD agreement, 3) a recognized need for the work, 4) an understanding
of what effort would be required, 5) resources to satisfy the effort,
and 6) assurance that the completed work will receive expert review.
I think we're somewhat deficient on 3 and 6.
