My understanding is the following:
If TAM is supposed to become a PKIX work item,
then a text for that new work item would need to be submitted to the PKIX WG.
If TAM is supposed to become a WG, then a proposed text for the WG
would need to be sent to the IESG for approval.
Is this understanding correct ?
