Sam:
I'm seeking clarity. Are you suggesting that the pre-WG mail list ask this
question while drafting the charter, or are you suggesting that the IESG
include this question in the call for external review of the charter, or both?

I'd like to challenge the assumption that an explicit call for adoption
is required if work is mentioned in a charter. Sometimes, if work is
mentioned as a possible starting point, that's true. However for
working groups like the original XMPP, DKIM, ABFAB and BEEP, where work
was mentioned as a basis/as *the* starting point, the question of
whether to adopt the work happens as part of the chartering process.
I'm not sure that impacts how IPR is handled; in that case I'd expect
the IPR to be confirmed/discussed as part of the chartering process.
