Re: [iola-wgcharter-tool] Charter-tool demo

Martin: 

Overall the UI seems to be going in a reasonable direction (based on what I could exercise so far).
I like the rot13 example charter text :).

Two quick observations:

I had recently removed the "Change State" button from the IESG portion of the tracker, replacing it's functionality
by turning the state name into a link (when it made sense to edit it).

On the question of naming charters below (XX-YY, etc.) - I can't tell if you're proposing something different
than what's in section 2.3 of RFC 6292?
