I would much prefer for the W3C to draft a charter, rather than rushing one
through the CG in a short time. The W3C has deep experience with this
process — the previous SWWG charter was informed by over five years of
community work.

I don’t think the W3C would create a charter without CG input. They’d
likely incorporate community input while ensuring the process remains
focused and manageable. IMHO, that’s the most pragmatic path forward.
