Yet I understand that the charter should be clear about what is in scope for the WG. I think that maybe the charter should also say that the WG can direct proposal for new work to another WG (sort of dispatch for QUIC).

That's been discussed (at the Transport Area meeting in Singapore); we might try an experiment where we do something like that in Vancouver, but it's not clear that *this* WG should be the locus of quic-dispatchy things quite yet.

Cheers,
