or not possible under the current charter.
Not exactly, but better focussed under a different charter.
And why are the views of contributors not sought on this? That, I
guess, is (are) the question(s).
A significant part of charters concerns scoping efforts so that they can
make useful progress without either ratholing or being too confined. It
is rare that general discussions of scope are fruitful when conducted on
a public mailing list, particularly one with a bumpy history concerning
decorum and staying on topic (such as ASRG).
My next message announces the new charter.
