I appreciate the addition of QUIC-related work to this charter.
I'm sympathetic to Mirja's comments about intentions, including her comment on
not-optimal-timing. At a minimum, as I mentioned during discussions at IETF
103, I note that the current QUIC charter calls out HTTP/2, and if that's not
what QUIC is going to call their deliverable (as per this charter), it would be
nice to update the QUIC charter to reflect the new name.
Keeping in mind that HTTPbis and QUIC currently share one co-chair, and that
this might not always be true, you might consider a couple of "good fences make
good neighbors" edits, as
OLD
The Working Group will review the QUIC Working Group's documents regarding
the use of HTTP over the transport protocol they define, providing feedback and
collaborating where necessary.
NEW
Upon request from the QUIC Working Group, the HTTPbis Working Group will review
the QUIC Working Group's documents regarding the use of HTTP over the transport
protocol they define, providing feedback and collaborating where necessary.
END
and
OLD
Once the QUIC Working Group publishes the expression of HTTP semantics in QUIC
(HTTP/3), this Working Group will maintain and develop extensions for that
protocol as necessary. This includes ancillary specifications (e.g. QPACK).
NEW
Once the QUIC Working Group publishes the expression of HTTP semantics in QUIC
(HTTP/3), the HTTPbis Working Group will maintain and develop extensions for
HTTP/3 as necessary. This includes ancillary specifications (e.g. QPACK).
END
I applied your changes, thank you!
And I notice that this is the first mention of HTTP/3 in the revised charter.
Perhaps that's worth a sentence, on its own?
"HTTP semantics in QUIC" is supposed to be definition of HTTP/3. If you can suggest a better wording (or extra text), that would be much appreciated.

Best Regards,
Alexey
