I'd like to counter-propose this one: Note: This group does not (yet) have a charter that describes its scope, deliverables, and decision process. Groups that clearly document their practices promote participation and foster trust. Inversely, groups that do not document their practices run a greater risk of surprising or disappointing participants due to different expectations about operations and decision-making. Notes on my changes: * I would like to avoid "violate" * The last two sentences are more or less the inverses of one another, so I added "inversely" Ian -- Ian Jacobs (ij@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs/ Tel: +1 718 260 9447
