Re: Web Payments IG (Steering Group) Charter - Final Call for Comments

The charter includes this within its initial scope statement:

Web Payments terminology:

Identify and review existing terminology that has been established by a
variety of international organizations and standards. This includes e.g.
UNCITRAL terminology, World Bank Terminology, ISO20022 or ISO29115.
Adopt, refine or extend existing terminology(ies) to cover needs identified
in new use-cases or scenarios

Somewhere within the charter document, explicitly declare production and
maintenance of a deliverable, authoritatively versioned, normative glossary
of recommended and deprecated terminology as a goal and purpose of the
working group. This goal may be considered implied within "Adopt, refine or
extend" but those seem to this reviewer to be insufficiently explicit
internal-facing verbs.

This Official Glossary would be a third deliverable, with a success
criteria of references made to it in other documentation.

Claiming maintenance of The Official Glossary would give the WG a permanent
focus and reason to exist, and afford opportunities to reward volunteers
with intrinsically amusing debate on word choice as well as glory of
authoritative recognition.


Thank you
