Re: ratifying the charter?

The workprocess committee did discuss this issue (not quite in these 
words) and decided that people were signing up to join a group with 
those parameters.  While the group as a whole can, by vote, change 
any of the parameters, the assumption should be that description of 
the TC provided are what the group will live with.

I am also concerned about adding additional proceedures to an already 
complex process.  Let's try to get the process implemented as 
designed before additing to it.  (For example, I haven't seen any 
announcements of the "publicly archived list for announcements from 
OASIS TC administration regarding TCs".)
