Re: Proposed W3C Charter: Devices and Sensors Working Group (until 2019-03-06)

(issue registered as https://github.com/w3c/charter-drafts/issues/193 <https://github.com/w3c/charter-drafts/issues/193>)

The proposed Devices and Sensors Working Group Charter has a normative dependency on an external document that can be updated without the AC's approval, and charters should have no such things.

The charter says that the group will follow a "test as you commit" approach, but that term is defined elsewhere in a github hosted README. How the term is defined (such as whether it uses SHOULDs or MUSTs) will impact the work mode of the working group. That should be in-lined in the charter.

PS: I know that this sentence comes from the charter template, but that's not material to this charter's review. The template is a convenience for preparing charters, not a document that has been approved by the AC and that must be followed no matter what. I think this part of the template should be fixed to avoid creating more charters with the same problem.
