My notes on the charter document

Everyone,

Thanks for a good kick-off meeting -- short, sweet, and to the point. My 
favorite kind.

I'd like to share my thoughts on the charter. Overall, it reflects my 
expectations for the group, but I have some specific ppints.

 1. I'd like to suggest that when we think a use case is a priority, or
    an area of interest is a priority, we take the initiative to start
    new groups to focus on those issues. For example: we've identified
    in the Social Jam a need for work around social analytics. It may
    make sense for the socbiz group to spin that out as a separate
    effort, and monitor its success.
 2. I think that this group can be most useful if we keep it open on a
    rolling basis. I think that's the intent from an undefined closing
    date. We may want to make it specific that our "Deliverables" won't
    be delivered in a big binder at the end of 18 months, but rather as
    a continuing stream of produced works.
 3. One of the strengths of this group, as far as I can tell, is its
    emphasis on practitioners inside enterprises (rather than just
    vendors). I wonder if we could find ways to support that in the charter?

That's what I've got right now. Otherwise, it looks real good!

-Evan
