Let me be a bit more explicit.

I would have expected that the senior IETF people mentioned as
co-authors or contributors, who are very well familiar with the
relevant history (Benoit Claise, Andy Bierman, Alex Clemm), would have
explained here (or in the document) why this approach to create an
interoperable standard for ECA has potential to succeed given the
limited success of the prior attempts.

Adopting this work without having answered this question seems
premature. If the proponents of this work do not have an answer to
this question, the WG will likely not find one either.
