Re: [ogpx] VWRAP working group charter update

hmm... carlo... for a second i was thinking you were saying "let's
never do another f2f meeting again. let's do everything virtually!"

but that's not what you're saying, right?

i can totally get behind the statement, "we should also have meetings
in the virtual world."

further, i think they should rotate between different grid operators:
linden, OSGrid, etc. i mean, this _is_ an interoperability spec.

i believe the IETF has the requirement that only people who have
asserted they have read and understood the IPR policy / Note Well
notice are supposed to be at "official" IETF meetings. in SL, we would
create a group, then make group membership dependent on confirming
you've read the notewell and then limit parcel access to members only.
i haven't ever tried to do that with opensim, but i'm guessing the
capability is there.
