Hi all,
The current wording of the proposed charter excludes the working group
from working on experimental extensions, which has been offered as a
solution to move some documents forward in the wg. IMHO, disallowing
experimentation runs counter to the "running code" nature of IETF work
and takes away from the tools the working group has to create
interoperable specifications.
The proposed charter has the following paragraphs:
Proprietary documented extensions and individual submissions
of informational or
experimental extensions will follow the expert review process
as described in the
appropriate extensions registry. These extension documents
will not be part of the
REGEXT working group work or milestones. The working group may
discuss or advise
on these documents.
Extensions that seek standards track status can be suggested for WG
adoption. If accepted by the working group then the development of
the
standard may proceed.
I propose the following change to the second paragraph:
Extensions that seek IETF consensus can be suggested for WG
adoption. If accepted by the working group then the development of
the
standard may proceed.
This change does not exclude experimental status if the working group
decides that is a good path for a document. It also draws the
distinction between those documents accepted by the working group in
contrast to the proprietary extensions mentioned in the first paragraph.
What do people think?
-andy, not the responsible AD for this wg

Two weeks ago the Chairs distributed a proposed revised charter and
opened a review period for the working group. That review period
closed yesterday. Many thanks to those who took the time to review
the proposal.
Today begins a one week review of the final, proposed revised
charter. Everyone should have access and can still leave comments or
suggest changes to the text. The review closes on Sunday, 4 May
2025, close of business everywhere.
Here is the current, FINAL proposed revised charter:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZEqVSc28YoiFJKDKlXgBfLHUSpYKfS1OIIgz4aVBOq0/edit?tab=t.0
In consultation with our Area Director, all the comments were
reviewed. Almost all were accepted as is, a few were accepted in
principle and the proposed text was revised to accommodate. There
were a couple that were rejected and those should have gotten a
comment sent to them regarding why the change was rejected.
For ease of reference, here is the current charter of the REGEXT
working group:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/group/regext/about/
Please note, this revised proposed charter is still subject to IESG
review. While this version may represent our consensus, there may
still be questions and comments to be resolved from the IESG.
Thanks again to all who reviewed the proposal. The Chairs believe
our Charter overall is better now than it was and hopefully you agree.
Antoin and Jim
