Re: Comments on draft charter [Was: Agenda: Verifiable Claims Teleconference - Tuesday, March 8th 2016]

+1 for casting goals with a positive outcome -- "improve" is almost always
better than "reduce" but...

these are good generalized goals, but they don't serve the problem
statements. - fraud and identity theft is not in our problem statement, why
would we have a goal about it?  The goals we're pursuing need to address
the problems we're identifying.

can we make a goal like
- set the foundation for uniform access and share-ability of claims by
providing a standards driven, extensible data model for claim data

is there a way assert some kind of evidence of success of the goals we
express?

section 3.2: obviously in "Security is obviously critical"
​ sounds condescending
