RE: [orms] Charter proposal

Here is my observation on on the activities trying to change the Charter text after a bit of contemplation. 

1.	There has been a period that you could amend the charter. You have not acted during the period. 
2.	By becoming a member of the TC after the period, all the member have agreed to the Charter text and the IPR. This is a binding contract. If the text is changed, you have to go back to your legal department etc. to get an approval again. 
3.	It is not a sound behavior trying to change the contract text just after having singed it. Trying to change the charter text at the outset of the TC is akin to this. 
4.	Therefore, I am against any change to the text of the normative portion of the charter. The charter clarification should be limited to be an acknowledgement of ambiguity in the actual text and the accompanying footnote for the clarification of the actual text/wording. 
5.	As the result, it is not plausible to change the text scores to something else. We could put a footnote to explain what scores really is, but not changing the normative text itself. 

I suggest ourselves to limit what we do against the charter to footnotes. Modifying the charter text is not something that we should do now. That is something you had to do in the past.
