Lakshminath and Vidya,
Vijay, Enrico and Stefano have said what I was going to say (e.g. below) -- as sponsoring AD for this charter I've been following the WG discussion, working with the rest of the IESG, and talking to people to confirm that there's better consensus on the list, even if there was confusion at the BOF. This IETF Last Call is also part of confirming whether there's now consensus.
It's difficult to write a charter without actually designing the solution. What would help with the charter, even now, is for people to write up proposals for the solution -- ideally in the form of Internet-Drafts. I haven't yet selected chairs for the WG, so as you can imagine editors and authors aren't yet selected. It would be most excellent to see some individual proposals before a committee gets their hands on them :)

And since the BoF, much has changed to narrow the scope of the
charter down to more manageable pieces as well as establish a
channel with IRTF to move certain aspects of the work there
(as the timeline in my previous email indicated.)

My perception and my understanding of some of the dissenting opinions
was that some of those need to be worked out before creating a working group.
But I believe that we have done exactly that: the list has been
busy since Dublin on attempts to move the work forward in a manner
that is conducive to all participants.
