I just have a couple of nits: 1. The list of Work Items includes a couple of bullets related to coordination and liaisons, which are clearly not "work items". Please move this text before/after the work items. 2. This text in the first paragraph sounds like marketing to me: "It is robust even in the presence of link metric oscillations and the failure of transitivity."

I had a couple of suggestions, but this looks fine. We all know that applicability statements are standards-track, but perhaps it's worth spelling that out for people who haven't read RFC 2026 lately, since we don't produce many applicability statements. Perhaps "As the Proposed Standard version of Babel is completed, an Applicability Statement should be finalized to guide those potentially interested in deploying Babel. This Applicability Statement may include deployment advice and will be published as a standards-track RFC." I wasn't sure what you meant by "state" in "The Working Group should document its ongoing implementation experience with Babel, so that new WG participants can understand the state that is driving this work and the experience driving changes." I can guess, but I was guessing.

Thanks for addressing my comments from the previous version of the charter. It looks good now. As a minor nit, the charter has two bullet points that mention "As a secondary focus...". I suggest removing the phrase "As a secondary focus," from the second occurrence.

1. Editorial Justification: - TR69 is a management protocol, not "network management" - I tried to explain that data models are derived from the information model OLD: - Address manageability of Babel by producing an informational model for use by other network management such as the Broadband Forum TR-069, and a YANG data module based on that information model. The former supports the case where the Customer-Premise Equipment (CPE) is managed by the Service Provider (SP) as is done today. The latter YANG model supports management of home gateway routers and is consistent with the ongoing effort to use YANG data modules in the Routing Area. This work is required as part of moving Babel to Proposed Standard. NEW: - Address manageability of Babel by producing a Babel informational model to help provide guidance and derive the data models. To be consistent with the ongoing effort to use YANG data modules in the Routing Area, a Babel YANG data model to support management of home gateway routers is required as part of moving Babel to Proposed Standard. This information model is useful as a common source of information for the case where the Customer-Premise Equipment (CPE) is managed by the Service Provider (SP) with the Broadband Forum TR-069 protocol and its associated data model. 2. I don't believe we need this text: Thus, the Working Group will produce a Proposed Standard Babel specification, including or paired with a suitable Proposed Standard specification covering the security mechanism(s) for BABEL. It will also produce a management information and data model for BABEL as a Proposed Standard RFC. An applicability statement will be produced as an Informational RFC. However, as discussed during the retreat, the deliverables should clearly mention the expected status: informational, proposed standard
