Hi Zahed, The original use case for ALTO -- peer to peer -- is largely dead. The current charter's work supports the new CDN Interconnect use case.
It is too early to see how this affects adoption of ALTO, and I'm not convinced we understand the current level of ALTO adoption. So, this charter focuses on closing loose ends on the existing ALTO work while we mature our understanding of the demand of for further extensions.
