RE: [oiic-formation-discuss] The importance to users of documents looking the same

Sander, 

I am not familiar with the OASIS process, but a charter to me is just a document that guides a group by defining what it can and can't do.  To that end, shouldn't we just submit a use-case to them rather than making it part of the charter?

+1

Not sure about this one. Perhaps we could still set some baseline 
requirements that we all agree on are necessary for good interop, then 
leave all the details and techspeak to the TC.

Can use-cases be included in the charter or does it need to be formal 
standards language? I think it would be useful if we could draw up a few 
use cases and ask the TC to deliver formal ODF profile requirements that 
satisfy those use cases. I.e. we just tell the TC "what" we want and 
leave the "how" to the TC.
