Discussion of charter

Ashok: Michael drafted a charter at http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/rdb2rdf/WG-draft-charter/
... but we need some more work to really get it out
... we need to talk about workshop, the current interest
... talk about XG and how valuable this effort is and how much interest it has generated.

Michael: Sure thing. I'm just acting as an editor ...

Ashok explains XGs and WGs and the transition from the former to the latter

scribe: so we in the XG we create a recommendation that says: let's go for a WG

Ashok: In the WG we very likely have to sign a royalty free IPR model
... with support of AndrewE I'll create a charter draft
... I'll send out the draft and next call we can discuss and maybe agree

Ashok_Malhotra: We can fund some part of a team contact

Michael: I'm offering to do most of the administrating bits (editing, scribing, etc.)

Ashok_Malhotra: Soeren and mhausenblas - is there possibility of funding from the EC?

Soeren: At next call (5th FP7) we plan something

<scribe> ACTION: Michael to look into EC/CSA funding [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/02/06-RDB2RDF-minutes.html#action05]

AOB

Ashok: will work on the charter and let's continue next week

AndrewE: charter has to spell out deliverable and time

Ashok_Malhotra: We have to be aware that work may increase over time ;)
... typically two-three years
... and yes, we can donate money for a staff contact in W3C

Ashok: when going REC Track, we should have two implementations

AndrewE explains REC Track

Michael: for more details see http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/process.html#cfi
