[Peter Reynolds <Peter.Reynolds@Berlitz.ie>]

Proposed XLIFF charter. It was agreed to propose this at the face to face
meeting by Tony, John Corrigan, Mat, Yves, Christian, John Reid, Gerard,
Peter. Miroslav Driml was present as an observer and also agreed. There were
no abstentions or objections.
This is proposed to replace the current charter.
Charter
The purpose of the OASIS XLIFF TC is to define specifications for extensible
localization interchange vocabularies (i.e. formats, schemas)  that will
provide the ability to mark up or capture localizable data and interoperate
with different processes or phases without loss of information. The
vocabularies will be tool-independent, standardized, and support aspects of
the internationalization process and the entire localization process. The
vocabularies will comprehensively support common software and content data
formats. The specifications will provide an extensibility mechanism to allow
the development of tools compatible with an implementer's own proprietary
data formats and company culture.
