Well, indeed the charter allows for highly subjective interpretation ...., but nevertheless charter item 1 fits very well.

During the plenary there was a clear indication from the WG members that the group spends too much time on analysis/scenarios/aspects and this process has to be speeded up. I do hope this will happen.
Furthermore, IPv6 comes to commercial deployment and needs well defined transition mechanisms (which makes the scenarios feasible) and alternative paths. proto-41 is one of them (in addition to some others) and there is no much time to wait .....
