Hi Mirja,

these are good points.

However, I don’t really see the value in defining this additional process with these three categories (which are also not completely clear to everybody and therefore probably not always straight forward to map). I would recommend to discuss every proposed tag separately and have a wg call to add a milestone for a tag if accepted in the group. I’d otherwise even be afraid that having these categories might focus any adoption discussion too much on the scope only and may end up not being very unconstructive.

I can imagine that, too (even if I think that the composition of the WG so far wouldn’t fall for that, the composition can of course change).

Proposals that are deemed to be out of scope for the working group, e.g. because they are too narrow purpose specifications, may still be published as individual submission or in another groups if there is a specific need. The cbor group will review these proposals on request.”

Works for me.

I could imagine that the WG will get used over time to an evaluation process that does make use of the two dimensions, broad vs. narrow, and application development vs. Internet usage.  But we can let the WG evolve that process (e.g., in an informal way) on its own, without having to touch the charter again on every step of that evolution.

I think we can discuss the details further in 35 minutes in our virtual WG interim…

Thank you!
