Re: joining a working group

WebApps chair Arthur Barstow outlined the process of adding a new
deliverable to a WG's charter [1].  As such, "drafting the charter" for
such a proposal is primarily in clearly defining the scope of the work,
which in our case is primarily in referencing to the draft of the
specification.  I have contacted him to discuss this further.
