Is there any possible way you could characterize it so it’s not
entirely open-ended? E.g., “Other work _related to OpenPGP_” or some
such would suffice. Right now it’s written as if the WG could take up
basket weaving and that would be in scope. I know that is not the
intent but would rather not set the precedent for having ambiguous
charter language.
We could - Stephen, do you think we would need to restart the process
for that?
I'll add that shortly. Doing so will have no impact on timing.
And I'll check out Ben's comment then too.

Greetings,
Thank's Derek - you saved me the response. That's exactly the
intent. It gives the chairs some latitude to accept some of the
other work so long as it doesn't impinge on the 4880bis activity.

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.
While I can neither speak for the chairs or the ADs, my feeling is that
there are a handful of topics that have been proposed on the OpenPGP
mailing list that are not necessarily directly related to RFC4880bis
but
have had some support to progress. My feeling is that this "open
ended"
notion was to allow the chairs to accept some (or all) of thosed
proposed work items (that have already started) without an explicit
rechartering effort. But the wording is there to make sure the WG
focuses on RFC4880bis first.
