You will see that various topics are split between RFC 5321 and 
Applicability Statement. We will spend some time at the BOF to discuss 
typical types of issues/suggested changes raised and which ones WG-to-be 
should tackle. This will affect the proposed Charter text, that is why I 
proposed to spend more time on this section. Having said that BOF chairs 
are going to be fluid with time keeping: we might spend more time on 
some topics as long as the [virtual] room is making progress and we 
might cut some discussions short if we are ratholing.

This would be a good topic to raise at the BOF.
