[Masque] Re: Draft Recharter Text

[Lucas Pardue <[e-mail]>]

Hiya,

Thanks for putting the proposal together. The diff is large and is not a particularly effective way to understand what is being put on the table. I looked for some chair slides ahead of the MASQUE meeting that might add more elaboration or rationale but didn't see anything.

I think I'm getting a broad sense of where the WG wants to go but I dont think the proposed charter text is executing on that well. 

In the early days of MASQUE, there was a vast horizon of possibilities and we spent a lot of text to narrow down and rule out possible avenues. As we look to wind down the WG, I think we can just be more clear in the concrete things that we want to adopt and publish. 

Cheers
Lucas
