One perspective:

It means that there is a body of people who are willing pursue the work defined 
by the charter text and that they are submitting it to the IETF management group 
(IESG) for approval.

The charter has had substantial involvement by an Area Director -- a member of 
the IESG.  Since the activity heavily involves security technology, it's worth 
noting that charter development also included significant involvement by folk 
with IETF security experience.  The charter has gone through a pretty diligent 
process, adapting to concerns that were expressed.  This shows some ability of 
the group to grapple with issues.

All of this bodes well for approval, IMO.
