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.
