Hi, I commented on the pull request

In summary, I think that we have done a poor job at all of the DTLS things,
and we should have done more work with the TLS WG on this.
That might mean that the IESG needs, when removing this from our charter,
inserting it into the TLS WG charter.

for instance:
> * efficiency of DTLS as the basis for the communication security in CoAP


On the GroupCom security side, unless the work is about to be approved by the
IESG, then I think it should get another WG.  Alas, "short-lived WGs" can
take years to spin up, so I guess it will stay here.  I suggest that the WG
may wish to allocate alternating virtual interims to this in order to
establish a cadence and get the work finished.

Given the virtual interim cadence, I would like to discourage the WG from
holding meetings during the plenary week.

I see that senML document is at the IESG.
I think that if there is more work to do on SenML that it be done elsewhere.

Why can't LAKE do this?

okay, but really are even doing anything explicit?
Can we even depend upon people being in all these groups given the conflicts?
That's partly what IOTOPS is *for*

> * continue and complete its work on the CoRE Resource Directory

Since we say that we want to be DNS-SD interoperable, I wonder if, at this
point, the work should be transferred to DNS-SD. I have seen no evidence that
we've consulted with DNS-SD.  Maybe I missed that part.

I think that any WG that tries to focus on more than three items will find
that really, it will focus is on zero items.  yang-cbor situation is what happens.
