> ---- Directorate Charter -----
> 
> There are many initiatives to couple delivery of electricity with the
> data communications used to control and monitor the electricity
> generation, delivery infrastructure, and consuming devices. The U.S.
> Smart Grid is one such initiative. A smart grid includes an intelligent
> monitoring system that keeps track of all electricity flowing in the
> system, and it employs two-way communications to reduce cost, improve
> reliability, and increase transparency.
> 
> Recognizing that a smart grid has many similarities to the "Internet of
> Things", developments associated with the use of Internet protocols to
> connect many devices without human users can be applied without
> enhancement to a smart grid.
> 
> The Smart Power Directorate provides review and coordination on the use
> of Internet protocols to provide smart grid communications. The goal is
> to point other organizations to relevant IETF documents and provide
> review of documents from other organizations that depend upon Internet
> protocols. If the directorate identifies a gap that requires new work
> in the IETF, the directorate will raise the issue with the IESG. The
> directorate will not develop new protocols or enhance existing ones.
> This review and coordination will require expertise from all of the
> Areas in the IETF.
