Subir,

I see how this language can lead to confusion. As you correctly point out,
it's the "6TSCH Security architecture and requirements" document which aims
at Informational, not the document describing the actual solution if/when
we decide to create it.

I've updated the charter text and slides. You'll find the latest version at
[1]. The language now reads:

7. Produce "6TSCH Security architecture and requirements", and depending on
the security requirements identified in the document, the group may work on
a security solution and ask for security area review.
The "6TSCH Security architecture and requirements" document will aim at
Informational.

Thanks for spotting the potentially confusing text.

Thomas
