[Ieprep] on the ieprep recharter

To the IEPREP WG,

After considerable deliberation within the IESG, I am sorry to report that the IESG is not comfortable approving the IEPREP charter as it stands. 

In particular, the IESG is concerned about a perceived lack of focus in the deliverables, and collectively feels that it is difficult to assess the support of the community for this charter. Some of the open-endedness in the charter about non-real-time communications has given rise to questions about the diverse expertise required to complete the work. Concerns about whether or not the IETF is the proper venue for this work continue to be expressed within the IESG as well.

At this time, the rough consensus in the IESG is that in order for the charter to progress, the community would have to affirm its support for the work in the context of a BoF. The IESG is willing to participate in honing the charter for such a BoF if this is the direction you'd like to take it.

I am sorry after such a long time to be returning with another negative response. I do believe that the response reflects an informed consensus of the IESG.
