Let me underscore this. We've spent months being explicit that we were focusing on the administrative aspect of our activities, and *not* the whole IETF (in any of its many possible values).
We *can* (and will!) expand the scope if needed, but for practical purposes, that can't be undertaken lightly, and I'm going to say it'll require an explicit decision to do so.

Correct, and I wrote carelessly.
If people want that possibility described, please speak up - Carl has the
pen ready....
Yes that would be helpful.
Well, I don't agree. I think it would defocus the discussion (which is about putting the IETF's administration onto a business-like basis). IMHO the only case in which we should discuss the wider option is if the newtrk WG proposes changes in the standards process that would make such a thing necessary.
