Re: [Ieprep] Proposed Revised Charter

Tony

I like the text suggestions, however, adding a goal means something that is 
to become an official work item, which is something we can agree on after 
the individual submission is reviewed by the WG. This process could take as 
little as one meeting's review.

I am very much looking forward to this submission.  A new milestone/goal 
can be added fairly easily to an existing WG charter, especially when an 
individual ID is written well and covers obvious areas of concern for the WG.
