BLOCK:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I am afraid that this charter should be rewritten in-depth before going to
external review.

The 4 first sentences can be rewritten in "Extensions to STD 69 and STD 95 may
be registered for informational purposes as long as there is a published
specification that has been reviewed by a designated expert(s)." And it is even
unclear what are `registered for informational purposes`, are they in a IANA
registry ? Then what is an informational IANA registry ?

What is meant by "targeted for the IETF consensus" ? Is it to be published as
an informational / standard track RFC ? or something else.

The formatting is broken and makes the charter ambiguous (in other words "Lack
of technical clarity on the content of work and deliverables"), e.g.:

a) `The selection of extensions shall incorporate the following guidelines:`
are the 2 lines below the guidelines ? If so, please use bulleted/ordered list.
b) is `The working group may discuss or advise on these documents.` part of the
above guidelines or just leading to the two bullets below ?

The two bullets are normal IETF process, so there is no need to repeat them.

`Possible work includes, but is not limited to the following topics` such an
open scope (unbounded work item) is not allowed in a charter.  In other words:
"Lack of scope for what is clearly in-bounds versus things that should be
explicitly forbidden"
