I think we should finish this doc... but it will not be
without obstacles I suspect.

makes sense to me - and may require major surgery to remove the assumption that WGs are permanent, or creation of the "maintenance team" concept that has been mentioned in discussion.

Perhaps add a sentence to the charter saying something like:

Determine (with CCAMP) what procedures are appropriate for evaluating proposals to extend the MPLS and GMPLS protocols, and document these

I believe there is a difference between review needed for (hopefully harmonious) extensions and review needed for (possibly incompatible) protocol change, but documenting what that difference is for MPLS is probably not a task for the charter.
