Tom,
The intarea charter is dated back in 2010... so, it probably deserves a rechartering to include in clear text the dispatch function, but let's not forget that intarea is broader than dispatch as intarea may do protocol work as it is the 'gateway of last resort' for some work.

Thank you for the prompt and comprehensive response. Clearly it is
easier to know than I imagined but how could I have found that out? As
you may infer, I did search the datatracker, IESG wiki and such like to
no avail. I see that the charters for e.g. intarea and rtgwg do include
mention of this function albeit not using the word 'dispatch'.
