The charter is looking pretty good generally. One comment below and
some nits that you could take or leave.

"The chairs may at times appoint at their pleasure “closed” design teams
with lesser reporting requirements (though results will be open). This
will allow for some limited discussions in which participants require
extra privacy/confidentiality."

I think that's undesirable. I've also no idea what kind of design
team might make sense in an RG. I don't think any other current or
recent RG has been anything but fully open. I'd prefer that this
not be an exception. If there is a justification for such an
exception then I think that ought be explicit, but I don't recall
hearing one. (It's possible this was discussed in Montreal at the
bit of the f2f meeting I missed.)

Nits:

- The IETF hasn't only suggested more encryption as a mitigation
for PM. For example Christian Huitema has done fine work on DHCP.
There are more examples. I think you could tweak the charter text
in various places to not give the impression that all the IETF and
IAB have done is "moar crypto."

- PETS and SOUPS aren't standards bodies

- "PEARG will participate" assumes PEARG is an entity whereas it'll
be a set of participants.

If it helps I'd be fine to suggest/review specific wording changes
as per the above, but I don't think RG charters needs to be as
wordsmithed as IETF WG charters so I've not done that.

Cheers,
S.
