Because the charter is currently in internal IESG review, then please may I request that we hold off from public discussion just yet.
Given that some aspects of this proposed WG are slightly unusual (it has a MOPS like element to it), then we need to clear that with the IESG first. If we succeed in doing so, then the WG chartering would follow the normal process, be opened up for external review, and then the charter text can be discussed more widely.
