Re: [iola-wgcharter-tool] A question about the states in RFC 6292

[Martin Qvist <[e-mail]>]

Hi

Ah, now I understand. No, that wouldn't be possible as it is setup right 
now. It would be better to make separate charter Document objects for 
each (re)chartering as you proposed in the other mail.

It wouldn't complicate things too much. There would be some more merge 
of the individual charter Document histories in the History log on the 
WG record, but that shouldn't take too long to fix.

Best,
Martin

The potential recharter can take many revisions, and while this is happening, the original charter remain the 'active' one.  When the recharter is approved, it become the 'active' one.  So, during the recharter there are two documents in play.
