Ballot question: "Do we approve of this charter?"
I'm a Yes, with a couple of comments. I don't think "Documents of these work items will as well target standard-track unless the main content of the document itself clearly demands for a different type (e.g., informational or experimental). In the latter case the Working Group needs to determine the proper document class." is quite right. My understanding is that "determining the proper document class" is an IESG responsibility in RFC 2026 (which calls this "publication category"): The IESG is not bound by the action recommended when the specification was submitted. For example, the IESG may decide to consider the specification for publication in a different category than that requested. The fix would be simple enough: "In the latter case the Working Group needs to determine the recommended ^^^^^^^^^^^ document class." I didn't understand this: "The LISP Working Group is chartered to work on the LISP technology, and only use solutions/technology developed in other working groups." Is it saying that the LISP working group will not modify or extend solutions/technology developed in other working groups? Or is something else going on here?
I see: The LISP WG is chartered to continue work on the LISP base protocol and produce standard-track documents (unless the content of the document itself is of a different type, e.g., informational or experimental). And I see a redundant sentence: Documents of these work items will as well target standard-track unless the main content of the document itself clearly demands for a different type (e.g., informational or experimental). In the latter case the Working Group needs to determine the proper document class. I'm afraid that those two sentences are so generic that they don't add anything to the charter. The following sentence is clear though, for the first set of deliverables: In order to produce a coherent set of documents, the first (and high priority) work item of the LISP Working Group is to develop a standard-track solution based on the completed Experimental RFCs and the experience gained from early deployments. As AD, if you know already the track of each of the documents (the ones under "In parallel with the previous main work item, the LISP WG will work on the items listed below:") or want to provide guidance, my advice is to add the milestones and the respected expected status. See https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/netconf/charter/ as an example.
