More or less.
There will of course need to be a discussion about WG
adoption of a draft but IIUC the goal will be for that to
basically start from the current bis draft. What I don't
know is whether or not there are parts in the current draft
that a WG would rather not have and how that might affect
people's opinions on adoption. I do believe a WG would want
almost all of the bis text so starting from testing that
(via a WG adoption discussion) seems like a plan to me.
But again, that's getting a bit ahead of ourselves.
The current wording in the charter leads me to the former and not the
latter process. Can you please confirm?
Feel free to suggest some words pointing out it's the
latter. (Or I can try later on, if that's better.)
Maybe the simplest way would be to change:
The Working Group will perform the following work:
- Revise RFC4880
to read:
- Revise RFC4880. The intent is to start from the current rfc4880bis draft.
I'm happy to put that change in, as it reflects what I understand to be the
universal or near-universal sentiment.

The draft charter is at [1].
I would remove the "Other work related to OpenPGP" section. One of the
issues in this group has been sudden new items appearing and being
worked on without consensus. Modify the charter after 4880bis is done
to do "other work"
I didn't see anyone else respond on this point, even with Stephen's
prompting, so I didn't make a change at this time. Happy to revisit it if
needed, especially if there are text suggestions. On a more practical
note, I think it would be hard to keep us from talking about other things,
so to some extent that paragraph is just conceding to reality, while
acknowledging that we do want to try to stay focused on 4880bis.
Thanks to everyone for all the feedback and being understanding about the
slightly weird process I ended up having this recharter go through.
