"We move on to evaluating its work.
Now, there is a question of what happens when an SG misses its
milestones. I could see an argument that hints at us being wrong that
we had sufficient interest. Or perhaps an argument that the task we
set the SG was harder than anticipated."
Right.
Since the bar for SG creation is the expectation of progress on basic
milestones, if the SG doesn't deliver, the AD would need to
re-evaluate the situation. For example, if there is both an absence of
progress as well as lack of energy (e.g. minimal mailng list
traffic), then an extension (or even a second BOF) might be hard to
justify.
It is possible that the SG could deliver substandard output (e.g. review
of the Charter and 2418 criteria garners poor reviews from the IESG/IAB
and IETF commmunity). In that situation, the AD needs to decide to
give up or extend the SG.
