here's a draft charter strawman slideset, wrt W3C Rules WG

Hi folks,
Here's a draft charter strawman slideset, wrt W3C Rules WG.  It's attached 
(as zip) in HTML, source Powerpoint, and RTF too.
This version dates from during and just after the W3C Rules Workshop, and 
is slightly revised from the version has been distributed to a few dozen 
folks including the W3C Team and others, several of whom provided feedback 
at that time.
It will certainly undergo further revision.
It's based on trying to formulate coherently two sets of things:
1. the RuleML, SWSI, and WSMO positions at the Workshop
2. discussion at the Workshop, including my perception of the 
majority/consensus views developed there

I think it would be helpful if discussion on the new 
public-rule-workshop-discuss@w3.org list can be focused largely around the 
issues raised here.

I'll plan to post it on my webpage sometime fairly soon, probably next week 
(I am on trip now).
Benjamin
