Good point. But it doesn't go far enough. Rather, drop the entire paragraph:


Upon completion of these three milestones, and assuming the participants still have the momentum to do so, the working group may undertake similar review and revision of other email specifications. Such future work will require rechartering.


Typically, text like this in a charter is gratuitous, since it explicitly has nothing to do with work that is currently within scope. It's only saving grace can be indirect, to aid in the definition of what is out of scope for current work. But that's best achieved by simply saying what is out of scope.
