Re: Test Task Force Charter comments

Might I suggest one additional change (and I can make it and post the 
result to our Web site, as the current agreed draft, if you like):

Currently under deliverables:

>     * Develop tools and tool kits of general usefulness to help WGs 
> develop test materials.
>
>It is desirable that the Test Task Force build tools (test materials), 
>resources allowing.

1.) That last bullet was added after recent discussions;
2.) I think that the "test materials" has the potential to confuse -- i.e., 
that we propose to build a WGs test suites, etc.  We do NOT.  We do intend 
to provide useful toolkits etc, and will build them if necessary, resources 
permitting.

So I propose the above be changed to:

>     * Develop tools and tool kits of general usefulness to help WGs 
> develop test materials, resources allowing.

Okay?
