Right, although I would argue that in this case we are not using the word "formal" in the same sense (i.e., as opposed to "informal", meaning using the English language as a description technique).

Maybe a study of a bureaucratic top-down standard development process vs an incremental, distributed, and consensus-driven development process on the generation of inconsistencies and ambiguities in standards could be added to the charter?

Why RFC 4977?
