RE: Re-chartering for extension work

["Roni Even (A)" <[e-mail]>]

Hi Mark,
Here is when I see the difference between charter and creating a milestone and adoption. I do not think that we need to adopt the loss bit work now but it should be in the charter so it can be discussed without getting voices that it is not in the charter. Adoption and milestone can happen later. 
This is my general comment about not having specific extensions in the charter but have general statement about extension and let the WG decide if the work should be in QUIC and if to set a milestone.
