How is that an actionable statement for the charter?

What could this WG do that would *not* make the specification we produce "be suitable for being the normative definition of JSON referenced from specifications from other standards groups, including W3C and ECMA TC39"?

I think us putting in the charter things that put pressure on other SDOs is not terribly productive for anyone. Maybe let's keep the charter about the IETF work.
