But it would also be useful to point out that we are talking about process
concerns relating to requirements for legal work that hasn't yet been
completed by an organization (the IAOC) distinct from the IANAPLAN WG.

Just to be clear using a scenario; the recently submitted numbers proposal
coordinated by the CRISP team included requirements/principle that their
agreement (contract/mou) should reflect. However the community/CRISP also
recognised that it's not it's role to draft the actual text of the contract
but that of the legal team.

>From your statement above, you seem to be implying that the IANAPLAN WG
cannot even act in a manner similar to CRISP in this context. If that is
the case then it may make adequate sense to appreciate that the working
group charter may indeed be missing a few lines as it defeat the purpose of
organising a community process if the community developed proposal can be
overruled by a few set of people (IAOC).

Until the legal work has been done and there are proposed contractual
arrangements to analyze, we are talking about process objections to
requirements for arrangements that do not yet exist, within a WG that was
not chartered to handle the legal work.

Looks like you are implying that IAOC is actually doing a legal analysis of
the current WG proposal and will get back for to this WG for
recommendation. If that is the case then I think that is fair enough.
