Re: TPWG Charter

Hi Folks,


thanks for the positive responses. It is a good point that people who
want to implement DNT better get guidance to do so in an interoperable way.

I would also like to hear the opposite opinions: Are there objections to
extending the charter and finalizing the documents?
Is there a downside to extending the charter, reviewing implementations,
and publishing a final recommendation?


Regards,
matthias
