There have been TCPM discussion e.g. on the use of the TCP option, and the document has improved as a result of these discussions. However, the TCPM charter has a relatively narrow scope focusing on TCP as end-to-end protocol. Rechartering of TCPM would have required IESG approval.

TCPM has standardized RFC6994 to enable experimentation without formal assignment of a TCP option kind number. This I-D has registered the experimental ID 0x0348 as foreseen by RFC6994. Thus, regarding the use of the TCP experimental option codepoint, the TCPM process has been followed.
