Re: APA Update

Hello All, and thanks for this helpful summary, David.

The upshot of our conversations on last week's COGA call is the addition
of the statement David reproduces to the draft APA Charter. I would add
only that all non-normative references to deliverables in the new APA
Charter are illustrative and use the "such as" phrase. There's no effort
to be exhaustive nor fully inclusive of all anticipated deliverables.
Rather, the examples are intended to show the kind of work expected.

I regret a previous commitment prevents me from joining the COGA call
this week. We are eager to move forward with a Call for Consensus on the
draft APA Charter, so feedback asap is important.

Thanks,

Janina

> APA doesn’t specifically mention Task Forces in their charter, but list deliverables that include them instead. That being said, I’ve pasted below the proposed mention that would continue COGA as a joint task force, as well as the current charter link to compare it to. I told APA we would review and either accept or propose an edit.
