Re: URI Charter; also Stockholm agenda items

The goals and milestones need dates. If you want to make a stab at
proposing dates, we can see if anyone else on this list is paying
attention.

As for revising the charter 'in a couple of years', I don't think that
belongs in the charter.  IETF working group committees are generally
not 'standing committees': they're chartered to do a particular job
and then go out of business. We can propose extending our charter, but
the proposal has to be specific and also have an endpoint.

Roy Fielding may have volunteered to do this.

These were supposed to go to last call, but I haven't heard anything.

Someone at the last IETF slipped me a business card volunteering to
work on this, but I lost it. Speak up!

Do we have more than one proposal at this point? Actually, do we have
any proposals?

Yes, what's the date this will be completed?

I'd like to hear from folks who want to move forward with this. It was
an interesting idea, but I'm not sure how it differs from
'extended-URLs-with-lots-of-features'.

Sorry, I've never heard of such a beast, and it's not been discussed
on this list. We don't need to pursue things merely as busy work.
