   - publish informative documents describing existing vendor extensions
     which did not come through the IETF consensus process, but are
     nonetheless in common usage and likely to be encountered in the wild.

I understand the intent, but all IETF documents require consensus (rfc8789).
Publishing a vendor extension without consensus should be done through the ISE.

COMMENT:

Please help me understand how JSContact fits into this charter.  It confuses me
because it is a draft that belongs to a different WG, which also contradicts
the statement that "work which is in scope for any other ART area working
group" is out of scope.  It may be premature to list draft-ietf-jmap-jscontact
as part of the base documents.
