I'm happy with a restrictive charter so long as the work areas
identified today (including mine) are included.  I'm happy drawing a
line in the sand and saying "here's what we'll touch first," so long as
people who bring up items now get included.  I'd probably be happier
with a reasonably open charter.

I'm not at all happy if the items I bring up or other similar items
brought up now are excluded.
