There's been talk of incorporating parts of others (e.g., authority  
for the status code registry) or more prominent references (e.g., to  
2145). The big question at this point is whether 2617 will be  
directly included in the charter.

I think that's an emphatic "no". It can always be re-chartered if  
that seems wise down the road.

Cheers,
