I wish the charter included an explicit liaison statement about coordinating with TC39 to insure that the new IETF spec is suitable for, and used as normative reference from ECMAScript 6. 

I also wish the charter included an explicit liaison with both W3C and WHATWG that made forking unlikely, because of participation in the review.

I'd like to work on updating http://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp70 , RFC 3470, "Guidelines for the Use of Extensible Markup Language (XML) within IETF Protocols" to cover JSON and also the considerations of XML vs. JSON,  as a working group item.
