Re: revised Proposed Charter

2005-07-20 07:29:51

 I think the restrictions on scope are reasonable for now, however, one
 possible course forward would be to recharter after the current work is
 complete to look at, say, the acceditation problem. Should the possibility
 of a recharter be mentioned? The answer is probably no, but I thought I'd
 ask.

My own preference is to leave the future to the future. I have never seen the 
benefit of saying that at sometime in the future we will discuss whether to do 
some additional tasks.  The one exception is when there is a concern that the 
current effort has "forgotten" to cover something.  Then, it can be useful to 
cite that thing to show that it is explicitly deferred.


 Finally, I don't know about anyone else, but I for one am starting to
 have trouble keeping track of all the issues rasied on the documents and
 charter. Perhaps we could start using an issue tracking system sooner
 rather than later.

Good point.

However,

Since the current focus is on getting the working groups chartered, perhaps we 
should make that list the first thing to do after chartering? 

The theory, here, is that maintaining focus is going to be a continuing 
challenge for this group, and creating a list invites debate about the list, 
when getting chartered is the immediate requirement.
