I am sorry not to have been able to participate in the last two meetings, but I 
also find no discussion on the mailing-list about this, so can you provide more 
context?

Specifically because regarding the minutes of IETF 101 and 100 I see nothing 
about this in 101 and in 100 only:
"Discussion about broadening the charter to adopt other
"registration-related" documents, once the document "plate" is clean.
Before london, several documents should be off our WG, and we can
adopt more documents."

from one individual.

I feel missing quite a lot of pieces of the puzzle.

New work may be interesting, but one has to question first if this is really 
related to what we are already doing (what is the overlap?) and then if the 
group has enough resources to tackle more work when:
- we are late in our milestones, and not by little (almost one year for the fee 
extension, more than 6 months for the organization one, etc.0
- it is difficult to find shepherds for write-ups (I can testify :-))
- there are not so many individuals commenting/reviewing each draft on the 
list, so consensus is already quite hard to achieve.

My concern is that there is only a short sentence added to the current charter 
that does not give a lot of details about what we are speaking about here, 
especially since EPP and RDAP are detailed before in many sentences.

So, in short, I am uneasy to say anything because I lack both context and 
substance about what we are talking about.
Some examples of relevant work could also be useful.
