Mike, Thanks for raising the question. The answer will depend on the charter discussion. Anybody is welcome to comment. This is my personal view: If you look for example the IETF Middlebox work, NATs were part of the charter. An answer may also depend on the outcome of the question if this should be a Research Group or a Working Group. A WG charter needs to be very focussed and our Area Directors may prefer a limited the scope with clearly defined deliverables. The scope may therefore be limited to Firewalls. There is also a BoF that wants to look at VPN's. A RG could pursue a wider range of middlebox services such as mentioned in RFC 3303. Kind regards .. Leon Gommans.
