Definitely. We're late already (my bad).

A short charter extension (2-3 months) would take about 2 weeks to get.
Anything longer requires sending the W3C membership a call for review, 
which takes at least 4 weeks + ~3 weeks to get W3C Management pre- and 
post-approval.

The plan I outlined for a 12 month extension with no scope change 
requires a call for review, so we should try to reach consensus within 
the group as soon as possible.

Anssi, given the apparent intent not to change anything in the charter, 
a call for consensus could perhaps be enough to claim victory or get 
people's inputs?

(We'll still need to refresh the charter a bit to note progress on the 
specs since last time the group re-chartered, but that's editorial in 
essence and can be done in parallel, I think)

Francois.
