It looks good to me, the revision makes the logic more clear.

Subject: [spring] Call for Comments: spring charter Update (Ends Sep/18.2024 / 
charter-ietf-spring)

Dear WG:

As mentioned in July [1] and discussed in Vancouver [2], we have started the 
process to recharter the WG.  This email starts a two-week call for comments on 
the updated charter until EOD on September 18, 2024.

Once this call for comments is over, we will let our AD handle the process.

I have pasted the proposed charter below.  I am also attaching a set of diffs 
with respect to the current charter.

We intend to manage the WG based on milestones.  IOW, the plan is not to list 
specific work items in the charter text.  Nonetheless, we will include specific 
milestones reflecting the current/adopted work.


Please take a look (below) and reply with comments or proposed text.

Thanks!

Alvaro (for spring-chairs)

===== Proposed Charter =====

The Source Packet Routing in NetworkinG (SPRING) Working Group is the home of 
Segment Routing (SR) using MPLS (SR-MPLS) and IPv6 (SRv6).
The SPRING WG is responsible for defining new applications and specifying 
extensions of Segment Routing technologies. It also serves as a forum to 
discuss SR-MPLS network operations.

The work in the SPRING WG should avoid modification to existing data planes 
that would make them incompatible with existing deployments.
Where possible, existing control and management plane protocols must be used 
within existing architectures to implement the SPRING function. Any 
modification of -or extension to- existing architectures, data planes, or 
control or management plane protocols should be carried out in the WGs 
responsible for the architecture, data plane, or control or management plane 
protocol being modified and in coordination with the SPRING WG, but may be done 
in SPRING WG after agreement with all the relevant WG chairs and responsible 
Area Directors.

The SPRING WG defines procedures that allow an SR node to steer a packet 
through an SR Policy instantiated as an ordered list of instructions called 
segments without needing per-path state information at transit nodes. A network 
comprising only SR nodes can achieve full path control (through loose or strict 
path specification). However, SR nodes must interoperate through loose routing 
in existing networks.

By default, Segment Routing operates within a trusted domain and requires the 
enforcement of a strict boundary to prevent Segment Routing packets from 
entering the trusted domain [rfc8402]. Some deployments may involve multiple 
trusted domains and the use of cross/inter-domain segments. Documents which 
deal with such situations need to include a risk analysis and use mechanisms to 
validate that the segment list is provided by an authorized entity and has not 
been modified in transit.

The SPRING WG will manage its specific work items and milestones based on WG 
engagement and successful adoption.

The SPRING WG will coordinate and collaborate with other WGs as needed. 
Specific expected interactions include (but may not be limited to):

mpls on the MPLS data plane and associated extensions 6man on the IPv6 data 
plane and associated extensions lsr on OSPF and IS-IS extensions idr on BGP 
extensions bess on VPN control plane pce on extensions for centralized 
solutions teas on traffic engineering architecture rtgwg on fast-reroute 
technologies srv6ops on SRv6 operations
