I see that you are new to the IETF and unfamiliar with IETF procedures. I would start with the Note Well document, which presumably as a mailing list subscriber you have seen but perhaps not read in its entirety, and go from there. You might also check out The Tao of the IETF. There are quite a few BCPs that you might want to review as well. It's not my job to guide you through this process: if you want to participate in the IETF, it's your job to become familiar with them. If you have no interest in doing so, then you can't effectively participate in the IETF.

To answer your question (which was followed by many paragraphs of text that I did not read), "we" is the IETF participants who originally proposed the BoF, the IESG which approved the BoF, the IETF participants who _participated_ in the BoF, the IETF as a whole which reviewed the charter, and the IESG which approved the working group charter after the IETF approved it.
