Re: [re-ECN] Other transports than TCP in charter

Bob,

I'm positive the ADs are thrilled to read this :-)

The thing I (and probably Ingemar) would ideally like to see is a charter that doesn't preclude the introduction of proposed work involving transports other than TCP.  This is perhaps a question to the chairs/ADs, but would it be possible to have a charter that makes a more general statement about transport protocols, and then for now have a specific milestone that only identifies a work item for TCP and no other transport protocol?

the advantage in doing something like this is that if one of us were to come up with an idea that addresses UDP via RTP/RTCP, then we could introduce it to the group for their consideration without having to ask for a change in the charter.  And by the same token, by not listing other transports as a current milestone, we don't commit the proposed group to something that could be considered too much / too soon.
