Yes
No Objection
Abstain
Note: This ballot was opened for revision 02-00 and is now closed.
Ballot question: "Is this charter ready for external review?"
"IETF NEA" probably needs a reference to somebody not familiar with the field.
Thanks for resolving my earlier comments. This version looks better. The last paragraph of section A. seems to have a cut-and-paste error in the first sentence.
The charter is very generic and broad: model, collection, evaluation, orchestration and communication, control plane, a criteria language. I provided feedback to SACM a few times. I trust the responsible AD to do the right thing. I wonder why you impose CBOR in the charter. Can we get the milestones please. Regards, Benoit.

Given the charter has changed substantially and I am not familiar with the current state of work of the group, I'm afraid I can't provide any valuable input about the recharting and will therefore abstain.
