RE: suggestions for charter

[Karl Best <karl.best@oasis-open.org>]

OASIS has no policy yet on document format, review cycles, etc. Probably
something we will put together sometime soon, but nothing today.

The Security Services TC has done some great stuff here; some of that may be
useful to you. I'm not requiring that you use it, but offering it only as a
suggestion. It's probably up to the TC as a whole as to how you want to do
this.
