I would dispense with examples and use precedent. That is, the second work area is listed simply as "QUIC deployability" in the charter. Then, the WG picks up (say) the load balancer draft based on the applicability of the "deployability" rule. This establishes precedent what types of work items the deployability work area covers. The precedent is used in the future to figure out which new work items are applicable and which are not. - Dmitri.
