Can we ask that Charters include a `Start Date` along with an `End Date`? I've asked for this too. It can be very difficult to figure out how long a Charter was in effect. There should be a start date, the original expiration date and an extension date if it is extended beyond the initial expiration. Currently, to try to find that you have to hunt through text for links and it isn't always possible. It should be clear in the header how long it has been since the AC and Director Review of the Charter. > 2.
