Charters are recommended but not required; see the section on "operational agreements" in the CG process [1].

We do have a charter template you can start with:

Our discussion yesterday was about a charter for the CG to explain its scope, decision process, etc.

More than one Member has told me that a charter is important to their decision to participate.
