All, Michel and I have updated the charter based on discussions that took place at GGF16. They are already scheduling slots for next GGF, so we need to ratify this charter ASAP and become a full fledged working group. The charter is short, only a couple of pages of text and a table with goals and timelines. This shouldn't take long, so please take a few minutes now and review this. In particular we would like comments on: - Do you agree with the focus and scope - Do you think the Goals and timeline are reasonable? Are we missing anything? - Which documents / implementations would you be willing to work on? Thanks, and I hope to see you in Tokyo.
