The public already has the doc you already wrote. This discussion is
about what the WG should produce.

There is no current list of threats in TCP. If this doc is intended
primarily at implementers, then we should consider splitting out the doc
that talks about the threats as a separate doc.

As to the current organization, I've proposed one that's hierarchical
and has things in predictable places. The current outline is mostly
flat, and has things in multiple places. Do you have a proposal to
organize the current outline into an alternate hierarchical structure?
