proposed working group tasks

Here is a rough draft starting point for discussion, just one proposal
(is that enough disclaimers?) for a set of new, focussed, short term
working groups. The actual charters of the working groups and their
milestones will have to be written by the WG members.

(A) URL

  Charter scope: finish URI work on URLs.

  some possible milestones: 
	---- new URL schemes to standard
	---- revise 1738, move to draft standard
	---- move 1808 to draft standard
	---- Informational RFC on vetting new URL schemes

================================================================
(B) URC Syntax & Structure

  Charter scope:
    create RFC standards track with just URC syntax,
    attribute sets, definition, registration(?)
  some possible milestones:
     --- URC syntax requirement
     --- URC drafts (SGML, Trivial URC) to proposed standard
================================================================ 
(C) Information resolution

  Charter scope:
   create RFCs on distributed database algorithms
   protocols, infrastructure on URN -> URL, 
   URC, ratings (?) etc.,  resolution, update, dissemination

(D) URI architecture

  Charter scope:
    create informational RFC surveying current state of relationship
    between URI proposals, other kinds of naming and resolution
    systems, current experiments on larger internet community

   some possible milestones:
	---  Draft Uniform resource relationship paper for discussion
	---  URA draft to experimental RFC
	---  proposed standards(?) for specific URC applications
