Registration Protocols Extensions
charter-ietf-regext-02

I'm not sure what the following paragraph adds:

  "Extensions in both cases that seek the status of Internet standard are
   subject to more thorough review and open discussion within the IETF."

Is it a goal of this wg to push things to full standard? Or are we talking about anything on the standards track?

It would be nice if the milestones (or the text) contained descriptions of the work, not just draft short-names.

I do find the name of the WG strange: "Registration Protocols Extensions". Is there only one registration protocol available on this earth? But that is really a minor point.

I don't object if doing it this way is the right thing to do, but I was somewhat surprised to see no discussion of the forest of extensions being considered as deliverables in the charter itself, but only as milestones. The similarly-situated TRAM working group charter says "this work will include", for instance (at http://tools.ietf.org/wg/tram/charters/). 

Perhaps there are so many proposed extensions with such short timelines that there's no reason to mention them as deliverables, but I wonder if they fit into some number of categories that might be listed.

Two comments:

- "The working group will exist as long as there is an extension
seeking standards track status." Urgh. That encourages folks to
keep coming with possibly crazy proposals. While that's not too
likely at first, over time the probability of that will, I think,
increase. It'd perhaps be better to bound this somehow, e.g. with
a date by which the WG needs to re-charter, e.g. "if not done by Jan 
2018, the a re-charter is needed," or maybe "The WG will need to 
re-charter when there are no current standards-track extensions
being developed" or something else.

- This wasn't clear to me:
"The working group will also identify the requirements for a
registration protocol where a third-party DNS provider is involved."
Almost all DNS queries involve 3rd parties. Can you clarify what's
meant? (It may be clear from the documents that I've not read,
but not from the charter.)
