Re: [OAUTH-WG] Updated Charter to the IESG (this weekend)

[Mike Jones <[e-mail]>]

I agree that this looks good.  My only suggestion is that we move up the proposed submission dates for JWT and JWT Profile from March 2013 to November 2012, since the JOSE specs that JWT is largely based upon are scheduled for submission in July, per http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/jose/charter/.

Hannes,

I took a look (a bit longer than just "quick"), and what I see completely coincides with my understanding of the result of the discussions.

Good job!
