Hi Michael,

I commented on the individual proposals in the GitHub repo, but I’m really surprised at how bad most of them would be for getting any useful work done.
Whether some work should be in a specific WG does not depend on some abstract academic concept of how the world is structured, but on having the people assembled who can do good work.  E.g., I’m having a hard time believing that any useful work on using CoAP with DTLS would happen in the TLS WG; the people there have quite different priorities.  SenML may not be useful to you, but it is out there in actual use and we have done and are doing occasional maintenance (RFC 8798, draft-ietf-core-senml-data-ct); no other WG is going to do that properly (even though, yes, it may be weird to have a WG that does both a protocol and a couple of data formats that go with that protocol; er, maybe not so unusual).

Grüße, Carsten
