[dns-at-ietf] Discussion: how do we decide when a carefully chartered, narrow WG is needed

[Wes Hardaker <[e-mail]>]

How should the IETF (and thus IESG) decide when a new WG is needed
(e.g. include but are not limited to deleg, add, and dprive), vs
adopting a draft in an existing group?

- Should it be based on expected time to accomplish a goal?
- Should it be based on the level of effort required?
- Should it be based on the amount of discussion time that is expected?
- Should it be based on the complexity of the problem to be solved?

Is there a clear, crisp line that could be drawn?  Most likely there is
no way to define a crisp line, but can we provide guidance about how to
best break down the problem to at least create a sensible starting point
for a discussion that hopefully fits most of the time?
