I like this charter.

Only one linguistic comment:

"It is worth noticing that this
> work will make ICE more flexible, robust and more suitable for changing
> mobile environments without major changes to the original ICE RFC."

Everything before "this work" is linguistic fluff. Can we simply say
"This work will make ICE ...."?
