ratifying the charter?

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

Even though the TC process doesn't require that TC members do so, I would
like to be able to tell prospective TC participants that "the items
submitted to OASIS for the creation of the TC (i.e. committee name,
statement of purpose, list of deliverables, schedule, name of chair, etc.)
should all be ratified by TC members at the first meeting."

Should such ratification be suggested or even required, or should members be
committed to what was proposed when the TC was created? e.g. if people want
to join the TC because of the topic of discussion, but don't agree with the
details of the charter, should they be required to go with what was
proposed?

In other words, is the charter made law by default or by ratification?
