Hi, thank you for all the works!
I'm one of PING, I'm glad to review it. This may need some time.

if possible, capturing changes of normative deliverable into history table, would help readers of charter for easy noticing about changes...

@himorin, I am not sure I understand what you mean. Can you elaborate a bit?

@iherman thank you for adding the threat model :) Can it include security and privacy threats?

You mean to make explicit that the thread model reference among the notes should be explicit on security and privacy?

If that is the case, I am all positive about it and I am fine raising a PR with this.

@jandrieu, are you o.k. with this?
