If the charter of this WG is to sink DNSSEC, that needs to be stated 
explicitly in the charter, and then say why this work should not be in 
other PKI-based WGs.

Charters are not documents to attract participants, they are 
descriptions of intended work. Given that this thread has brought out 
some significant disagreements on the use cases, the listing of use
