Do you support this charter text (full text also provided at the end of
email or at [1])?  Or do you have objections or blocking concerns?
[CW] I dislike that the goals do not include verifying or using
attestations. Verification was cast as "mundane" during the meeting earlier
this week, but historically interop pain often arises at the
verification/usage point. This is independent of comparing values extracted
from an attestation to a reference value, which is deemed out of scope.
Perhaps: "This WG will standardize formats for describing assertions/claims
about system components and associated evidence; procedures and protocols to
convey these assertions/claims to the relying parties; and procedures to
establish trust in attestations/claims. Assessment of assertions/claims,
such as via reference values, is outside the scope for this WG."

Are you willing to author or participate in the development of the drafts of
this WG?
[CW] Possibly, though limited to defining some conveyance mechanisms most
likely.

Are you willing to help review the drafts of this WG?
[CW] Yes

Are you interested in implementing drafts of this WG?
[CW] As a relying party, yes.
