Re: [Rats] Reminder on RATS scope

["Smith, Ned" <[e-mail]>]

(not as chair)
The Program of Work items are presumed to align with Goals, hence wording variance in Program of Goals that could be interpreted as extending or constraining Goals should not be assumed. That said, the wording in (5.) seems to be broader than the wording in Goals as it relates to standardization of protocols, namely: "Additionally, the WG will standardize formats for endorsements and reference values, and may apply and/or profile existing protocols (e.g. DTLS, CoAP, or MUD) to convey them to the verifier." uses words like 'apply' and 'profile' whereas (5.) uses 'standardize...protocols'. The dissonance is if the protocol is existing then there is no need to standardize it. But if no protocol already exists then 'apply' and 'profile' don't seem to authorize definition of a new protocol.

If the Goals section is the last word on scope, then fine there is no confusion. But possibly, the intent of the scope isn't fully appreciated based on (5.) in Program of Work? 

I think I agree with Thomas that (7.) is a subset of (5.).

    Hi all,

    as promised I have reviewd the whole charter text in 2nd-RC2 and here 
    are my proposed changes:

    All but one of them are nits and details, I think.
    The essential change is an additional deliverable explicitly added to 
    the program of work.

    NEW:
    > 7. Standardize interoperable data formats for freshness indicators to be used in conveyance protocols for evidence and attestation results.

    It might be that this is already covered by deliverable #5, but as we 
    are also preparing the milestones next (and we are working on this), I 
    chose to err on the side of caution. Please bash and comment on that NEW 
    deliverable.

    Apropos milestones - there is now:

    > https://github.com/ietf-rats/charter/blob/2nd-RC3/ietf-rats-milestones.md

    This is just the existing milestones scraped from the datatracker and 
    put into a markdown table in support of a discussion to update those 
    with the help of the chairs here on the list.

    NEW:
    > | Date | Milestone | I-D
