Clearly this rechartering request has triggered a lengthy discussion
about web authentication. However, the only comment on the charter
itself Stephen Farrell's noting that this bullet is a bit vague
(specifically that it does not mention authentication):

> * Reflecting modern security requirements and practices

Stephen and I just had a chat about this matter. He and I came up with a
proposed paragraph to add after that list of bullet points:

   In the initial phase of work on HTTP/2.0, new proposals
   for authentication schemes can be made.  The WG will
   select zero or more of those with a goal of choosing
   at least one scheme that is better than those available
   for HTTP/1.x.  Non-selected schemes might be discussed
   with the IETF Security Area for further work there.

Your comments are welcome.
