Re: Important - Re: Please provide feedback on the new Charter proposal for our Parent Group

I will resist my temptation to do more than simply note the singularity
in the Subject: of this thread ...

Because I'm responding to underscore the importance of Steve's point. It
is very, very important to promise what you are very confident of
delivering in a W3C Charter. Future viability as a continuing working
group in W3C depends on doing what you said you were going to do,
accomplishing the goals you formally set forth in the Charter--on
delivering the goods.

So, the best rule of thumb, imo, is under promise and over deliver.

So, I also suggest not picking up stones to throw at this time.
