OK.  Please cite examples of BOFs that have been held between the time of 
the IETF-Announce request for charter comments and the chartering of the 
working group, absent a firestorm of draft charter criticism.

As a matter of reality it does not happen.  Formality isn't the 
issue.  Actual practise is the issue.

ps.  And it would be more productive for the proposed working group to 
focus on the lack of detail in the proposed charter than to debate 
process.  My point was that an assumption that there will first be a BOF 
before chartering is a misplaced assumption.  There is no indication that 
that will happen, nor is it typical.  Hence it is not reasonable to assume 
it will happen.
