As co-chair: Let me make this clear - anybody can write a
proposed charter for a WG and present it to the area
directors for approval; you do not need current chairs to do
so. Working with the current chairs to fashion a charter
makes a difference because the area directors have experience
with us, and they know we know how to fashion a charter, and
if this is a "re-charter" that might involve retaining the
existing chairs. Any proposed WG could be called something
other "syslog WG". It could be created in the Security area
or the OPS area (and would need to be presented to the
appropriate area directors). The current chairs may or may
not continue as chairs for (or even be involved in) a
rechartered or newly chartered WG.
Re-chartering an existing WG and forming a new WG are two different
cases. For re-chartering at least in the OPS area we prefer that an
existing working group debates and reaches some kind of consensus about
a proposed new charter text and then submits it to the AD's. I do not
know if the same practice is followed by SEC or other areas but I
suspect it might not be that different. New Working Groups follow a
different process, which may start by a bar-BOF, or BOF, new or old
players proposing a charter, implies mandatory IETF review and other.
