PPPEXT hasn't met in, what, 10 years or more? The charter hasn't changed significantly since Thomas Narten was AD. I seriously doubt a physical meeting is worth having in what are already jam-packed IETF meetings.  If you have any PPP experts there, it will be because folks like Glen, James, and others happen to have moved on to other areas that require IETF presence. 

If you are dead set on a recharter (personally, I like the pppext charter, and pointed to it as a good example of a "dormant but useful" WG several times as AD) then round up the PPP guys that are still around and chat with them in the hallway and take it to the list. It could even be a fun bar outing, looking back on the good old 90s... perhaps we could get Craig and Karl Fox to dig up some memorabilia. 

But, please don't make Marcia deal with what to her will look like a brand new WG to deal with scheduling.
