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.
Thanks,
Alissa

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.
