Hi, As syslog WG co-chair, let me make the WG aware of this point.
Standardization of structured data elements (SDEs) is out of scope for this WG. The syslog WG is a **security** WG, not a data modeling WG. The protocol document describes the fact that IANA-registered SDEs should be approved by Standards action. That is for (IETF-sponsored) IANA-registered SDEs only. Individuals can define their own SDEs (containing an at-sign) that are not IANA registered. We have had a couple drafts brought to this WG that define SDEs. If members of this WG want to standardize SDEs, they should request the creation of a WG in the OPS area to do that work, or if the SDEs relate to a specific type of SDEs, such as those related to RAI technologies, you might be abel to start a WG in the associated area. You will probably need to develop a charter, with document deliverables, timelines within which the documents will be delivered, and limits on which types of SDEs will be developed within the documents. Charters can be renewed to develop new documents for SDEs with different focus over time. Personally, I think defining and registering standard SDEs would be very valuable work. However, the syslog WG in the Security Area is not the correct WG to host this work.
