Re: [Asdf] proposed charter revision

[Eliot Lear <[e-mail]>]

Hi Michael,

This look good as far as it goes, and I suggest that you merge it so 
that we have it as a base.  We discussed Non IP Control in Prague and 
IMHO there was clearly interest in pursuing that use case.

I have created a PR on top of this to address the use case of non-IP 
control.  Please see 
https://github.com/elear/asdf-working-group-notes/blob/charter-revision-2023/charter-proposals/charter.md 
for proposed text.

I've not specified the draft we presented as a starting point, but that 
would be my general approach.
