The last couple of discussions have been about the IPR related to OCB and whether the CFRG should work on it because of that. That's a perfectly fine set of discussions for a standards WG especially when considering which modes to include under recommended and mandatory to implement, but is probably out of place for an RG. The RG ought to be answering the question "does this proposal have security flaws" and not "has the patent expired on this" but we seem to be getting far past the "discussing and analyzing" part of the CFRG charter? > Our goal is to provide a forum for discussing and analyzing general > cryptographic aspects of security protocols, and to offer guidance on the use > of emerging mechanisms and new uses of existing mechanisms. I'd really like the CFRG to continue to be a place where anything cryptographic can be brought to be evaluated on its merits - but that - IMHO - doesn't seem to be the recent trend. I note that the CFRG has already published RFC7253 on OCB and the IETF published an RFC on MD5 many many years ago, so unless there are new security flaws in this set of documents, the answer to the ISE should be a no brainer of "we don't see any problems with the publication". And at some point the patents *will* expire even if its not the 1-2 years that one poster suggested. In any event, I'm not going to push for this at this time, but I'm still confused about what would have to change if the charter were turned into a WG charter.
