I think the real question is whether the architecture issue
that underlies MIF can actually be solved within the limits
of an IETF WG. But certainly the first stage is to produce a
clear statement of what the issue is, and I would press the
design team to bring that statement back to the WG *before*
considering possible solutions.

BTW, it's normal for a design team to have a sort of mini-charter
that consists of more than two words.
