Ah, that isn't what you wrote, and it certainly isn't what I read. Although I agree it is something we're trying to avoid.

"Caution: This group does not have a published Charter describing
important aspects of its operations, such as scope, deliverables, and 
decision making process. Community Group process imposes little 
structure on how the Chair manages a group.  As a result, without such a 
Charter, it may be unclear how the group operates (e.g., the Chair 
could change how the group operates without notice).  W3C strongly 
encourages groups to operate under a published Charter covering such elements. "

Changes `describing`, and a few sprinkles of `such`.
