I'm happy with a restrictive charter so long as the work areas
identified today (including mine) are included.
my guess is that we most likely will discover other issues/newprep
potential "customers" as we go, that it might be useful to work on,
since they have a lot of similarities with the others official in the
charter.
Agreed.
therefore, more "opened" than closed charter.
We're trying to balance two things here: (1) we want to get as much
input as possible from current and potential customers of stringprep or
newprep/stringprepbis/whatever, but (2) we want to scope the WG tightly
enough that it doesn't have a mandate to work on "anything related to
internationalized strings".
I'm happy drawing a
line in the sand and saying "here's what we'll touch first," so long as
people who bring up items now get included. I'd probably be happier
with a reasonably open charter.
I'm not at all happy if the items I bring up or other similar items
brought up now are excluded.
In an email exchange with Marc and Alexey Melnikov last week, I proposed
adding the following paragraph to the charter:
Although the group may provide advice regarding other technologies,
it will prioritize work on the above-listed stringprep profiles and
will take on additional tasks as official milestones only after
rechartering.
We might want to broaden that a bit further to explicitly mention
seeking feedback from customers other than the existing stringprep profiles:
Although the group will seek input from and may provide advice to
"customers" working on other technologies, it will prioritize work
on the above-listed stringprep profiles and will take on additional
tasks as official milestones only after rechartering.
