+1!

We do need to specify which protocol we need to assume we can proxy  
with. I am satisfied with HTTP REST as the charter states now as a  
starting place as it covers those applications well. Others can come  
in the future as needed. We should though specifically list which  
standards organizations we will work with, and OASIS (e.g. oBIX, DPWS)  
is important there in addition to SE2 related organizations.
