No objection to the charter text.  It's not clear, though, what the milestones are specifying.  For the documents, I presume it's the end of the process (publication requested).  For some of the milestones, though, is it possible to meet them with a working group consensus that does not turn into a document?

- Some alignment issues with the Milestones

We might consider the comments above as trivial, but when I see alignment issues in the charter pages, and the charters are in THE contracts between the IESG and the WGs, I have the feeling that this doesn't look too professional.
Mea culpea: it even happens in one of my OPS charters, even if I tried hard to fix all issues.

I agree with Sean's security concerns, especially given that security problems in the routing domain have often proven tricky to solve -- and even harder to solve post-hoc.

Not blocking but I'm curious whether the security analysis has to be done before they get to bring the protocol to the IESG?  I'd hate to follow the normal path which is yeah yeah we'll do security, but we'll probably get distracted by this cool protocol work, and then loose energy and just pass the protocol to the IESG.

- I agree with Sean's comment (of course:-)

- "These applications" in the para after the 1st bullet list
could maybe be clearer.  I guess you mean the "network
functions" mentioned before.

I have yet to see a reason given why this is a good idea, but the routing guys seem to want it, and I think the security requirements in the charter are probably adequate, so I'm not going to block it.   I share Sean's concerns about security handwaving.

I'm also concerned about Sean's issues and wonder if the quoted text implies a show stopper if no secure solution can be found at all:
" As a part 
of its work, the working group will define the new 
IPv6-based routing header in way that blind attacks 
are never possible, i.e., attackers will be unable to "
