Re: [dtn] Working Group re-charter text

[[e-mail]]

I would propose to replace 

 * Bundle delivery signalling extension to Bundle Protocol specification

by

* Bundle progress signalling extension to Bundle Protocol specification

We may also be interested in signalling reception / forwarding / deletion 
of bundles and not just delivery.

Regards,
Felix
