RE: [office] TC Charter Clarification

[Simon Davis <simond@naa.gov.au>]

Hello all:

1) Suggestion for the Anticipated Audience section:
Instead of 'document managers or archivers using office document formats'
suggest 'document managers, records managers, and archivists using office
document formats for long-term digital preservation'

2) Comment on the Scope section:
The second sentence of the scope reads: 'Sun Microsystems intends to
contribute the OpenOffice.org XML Format to this TC at the first meeting of
the TC, under reciprocal Royalty Free terms'. Should this be changed to past
tense, ie, 'Sun Microsystems has contributed the OpenOffice.org XML Format
to this TC, under reciprocal Royalty Free terms'?

Please review the clarified charter proposal. Any feedback is of course 
very welcome.

I've send the charter proposal to Karl Best as well to check whether he 
agrees to the modifications.

Best regards
