As I was convinced to remove my previous BLOCK, I cannot really BLOCK it again.

But, I can only ballot ABSTAIN because I fail to understand *why* the charter does not specify the intended status of each deliverable in order to have a well-defined scope. This is as simple as:
```
.. will include the following work areas *with a publication intended status of standard track except when noted*:
Receive regular reports on the current state of the deployment of multicast technology *(not to be published as a RFC)*
Document deployment of multicast routing in the global Internet *(as an informational RFC)*
Capture the operational experience of those who have deployed and are deploying various multicast technologies *(as an informational RFC)*
Identify, develop, and maintain mechanisms to address transport-layer and security-related gaps that hinder broader multicast deployment....
```
