I’m OK with the charter addition. 

One thing that isn’t clear to me from the document is what the reporting 
mechanism is. Were I the AD, I would find myself looking up, for each working 
group, the counterpart to 
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/search/?name=v6ops&rfcs=on&activedrafts=on&sort=
 (which gives all RFCs and current Internet Drafts for a working group) and 
asking that working group to report on its RFCs and current Internet Drafts. I 
would then do a coverage check, and wonder to myself what to do with working 
groups that have been closed.

The alternative would be to send an email to each set of authors on RFCs. Wow...

And then, what comes back? One might hope that for a number of working groups, 
an email response to sunset4 might suffice. For example, in SAVI, IPv4 was 
treated as a solved problem; the only real question before the working group 
was source address validation for IPv6, and that being done in Switched 
Ethernet networks - Wifi, which is analogous but may have different dynamics 
internal to the switch domain, was not addressed. But I might expect that 
whoever spoke for SAVI might literally say as much in an email, leaving it to 
sunset4 to summarize that information as it chose. Or, if we literally are 
asking RFC Authors to review their documents, provide a wiki in which they can 
update their results.

I suspect we’d need some administrative support, in the form of the answer to 
the question “for each RFC sequenced 3100..present, what are the email 
addresses of the authors, and what working group did it come from?” Phil Nesser 
might not be available...
