COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is probably just a drafting issue, but this bit of the charter seems
too open-ended:

"- Other work may be entertained by the working group as long as it does

not interfere with the completion of the RFC4880 revision. As the
revision 
of RFC4880 is the primary goal of the working group, other work may be 
undertaken, so long as:

1. Will not unduly delay the closure of the working group after the 
revision is finished (unless the working group is rechartered).

2. as widespread support in the working group."

It would be better IMO to characterize what this "other work" might
entail or relate to. It may be obvious to the proponents but for someone
who has not been following this it sounds like the WG could take up
pretty much anything beyond the 4880bis, time and interest permitting.
