My question goes to whether the group should be chartered at all.
I don't see the proposed effort as distinct from existing protocols.
One way to make it distinct is take "adding a body part for the security
parameters" off the table.
But then I'll ask why that is necessary, notwithstanding the list of
"distinctive characteristics" currently included in the charter.
Of course if the purpose of the group is to answer these questions, then
I think the charter should more directly say that, and I'll offer
suggestions.

The goal, at this point, is to charter the effort, rather than
explore the solution space.
Is there anything in your comments that ought to prompt changes
in the draft charter text?
