EM-TC Charter

[Elysa Jones <ejones@warningsystems.com>]

All EM-TC Participants,

It is time to take a look at our charter.  We need to review and update the 
scope, deliverables, etc with an eye to what we plan to accomplish in 
2005.  We would like to get this through a review in order to publish 
before the Nov 15-19 XML 2004 Conference.  Art has graciously taken a stab 
at a draft and sent it to the list earlier today 
(Draft_2005_TC_Charter.doc).  The TC conference call today began a review 
but did not complete with the time allotted.  Also, there are a couple of 
issues that are brought to the attention of the list for input as described 
below:

Basically, those on the call today were cautioned about the wording of the 
last sentence in the Statement of Purpose.

The Scope of Work was agreeable with some slight wording changes that 
Michelle will put out for review.

We got a bit hung up on the first two points of the 1st Quarter 2005 
Deliverables.  The discussion was perhaps philosophical in nature but if 
addressed well in the charter could keep us from re-visiting/arguing these 
issues in later work.  After these two points are put to rest, the 
remainder of the draft document - although quite aggressive will likely be 
well received.

Please provide an overall assessment and any comments, suggested wording 
you would like to offer   to the list.

Regards,
