> There was an announcement for the WG review of TERM {1].  There was a saying of what was likely a general truth in 1992 which is documented in the Introduction Section of RFC 7282: "We reject: kings, presidents and voting."  The word "king" is defined in a dictionary (United States) [2] as "a male monarch of a major territorial unit".  Is it within the scope of the proposed working group to determine whether that word/saying is inclusive or exclusive?

not in my reading, since the charter says the document the WG will produce should "express general principles for
assessing when language is inclusive or exclusive".

(I'll also note that the text from RFC7282 is in fact a quote from a plenary presentation from 1992.)

I don't see this ambiguity, but I'm happy to change "informational recommendations" to "recommendations", if that is clearer?

> The draft charter mentions "industry initiatives".  Will the working group coordinate with industry initiatives from the United States and/or Europe only?

The charter isn't constraining the WG in this regard.

Thanks,
Lars
