Prospective Charter Revisions

Hi all,

In light of the discussion in Frankfurt and the direction that began to
take shape then, the chairs are working on a revision to the charter of the
Music Notation Community Group. The changes will set out a roadmap for
working on the main areas we have come to understand to date:

- MNX (an overall umbrella and container spec for different notation
encodings)
- CWMNX (a CWMN-specific semantic encoding of Western notational concepts)
- GMNX (a generic, idiom-free, non-semantic encoding of graphics and
performance instances)

The revisions to the charter will be up for discussion and potentially a CG
vote, so that we can solidify our direction and our priorities. Note that
the charter doesn't encompass the substance of these specifications, only
their scope and nature.

Daniel Spreadbury has kindly offered to take the lead on this effort. The
chair hopes to have a draft ready in the next few weeks.

Best,

.            .       .    .  . ...Joe
