While it's reasonable not to know what details will or should be produced, it's 
a bit challenging to come to a forum asking for its community to participate in 
an activity, without having a pretty solid sense of what that activity will do.

Stated differently, what problems are to be solved by this activity and who will 
work on them?  (Stating the former is meant to recruit statements of interest 
from the latter.)

You know about IANA registries but appear not to know that statements like above 
are counterproductive in the IETF (and most other places.)
