The language in this email is quite clear. Interestingly, it is missing
from the charter text. I see that there are two kinds of new work that
could come up, and the charter should make it clear which new work falls
within the charter, and should be submitted to the WG for approval, and
which new work should not be submitted to the WG, but to other ADs.

For instance if ULA-C fails to meet consensus and in a few months,
someone comes up with a ULA-W proposal, that does not involve protocol
changes and should go to the WG for approval. But if someone comes up
with a new routing proposal which separates locaters and identifiers,
that does involve protocol changes and should go to other ADs.
