Sorry for chiming in late on this. As noted before (thanks Brendan), there are two items for which we have good consensus and that are being worked on actively:

 - safe extensions
 - user trees

Neither is currently covered by the 01-01 charter. Given how far along we are in the process, this should already be covered now and not in 6 months from now.
Beyond that, if regular rechartering is an option, I think we should go for it and reconsider things in 6-12 months.
