Speaking for myself: I feel that such a survey document is better-suited 
for a research group (RG) rather than a working group (WG). It would be 
in line with the previous security document from T2TRG: "Internet of 
Things (IoT) Security: State of the Art and Challenges" 
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8576). I am not fundamentally opposed to 
pursuing this in IoTops but I feel that perhaps an evolution of this 
document (Carsten writes about a new spin) in the near future would be 
more suitable for IoTops. I am of course interested in contributing to 
that potential future document as well.
