I think our charter is coming out very well in general. However I think it is important for us to be focused on our outcomes on this incubator group and I wonder if the following points on our mission is too generic for this group: # To create a collaborative, inclusive, participatory emergency management framework that takes into account human rights and social equality, aimed to support EM systems designed to optimize the use of available resources though the maximization of data, information, knowledge and resources exchange # To develop and publish an architecture of reference for humanitarian software designed to embed and support principles of ethics and transparency. with the aim to discourage profiteering and personal and/or corporate financial gain from humanitarian operations IMO though the above are good objectives, it is too generic and goes beyond ontology and interop. We can however include this in other forums including Humanitarian-ICT (http://www.reliefsource.org/foss). In fact we had some initial discussion on interop standards here which we can now inherit this work to this group continue instead (notes: http://www.reliefsource.org/foss/index.php/Dev:Interop_Standards ) thanks, Chamindra de Silva http://chamindra.googlepages.com
