That was not the feedback from the DISPATCH WG on 2020-07-27:

https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/108/minutes/minutes-108-secdispatch-04

(Scroll forward to
## JSONPath standardi\[sz]ation - Carsten Bormann
)

We now have a mailing list, [e-mail], that needs a kick-off.
The idea is to come up with a proposed charter there, and propose that back to the dispatch mailing list for a final charter.  If that process is successful, there would be two independent WGs — which makes sense, as at least initially JSONPath will focus on JSON only.
