I guess the IETF process has really changed lately!  I had always
thought that WG consensus _was_ the decision & the task of the chairs
was merely to determine what WG consensus was.  Silly me!

Highly technical stuff -- I'd put a couple of more years in the charter

two suggestions for the new name (assuming that the Deciders establish
that a new type is a good idea), just to get the ball rolling: Tunneled
Extensible Authentication Method (TEAM, an oldie but goody) and Internet
(or IETF) Tunneled EAP Method (ITEM).
