Re: [ogpx] VWRAP Draft Charter - 2009-09-02

[Barry Leiba <[e-mail]>]

Collecting the agreement on the previous iteration with the agreement
on this one, we appear to have rough consensus here, and to be ready
to send this version to the IESG.  I'm inclined to agree with Morgaine
that the milestone dates are aggressive, but this is a common issue
with new working groups, and it's something that can be tweaked during
the remainder of the chartering process.

As to the document titles in the milestones, they should also be
tweaked to refer, where they can, to the existing  list earlier in the
charter.  Some do now, but some vary from that (for instance,
draft-hamrick-ogp-intro has the title "Introduction and Requirements",
but the milestone says "Introduction  and  Goals"), and some seem to
have no correspondence.

The bullet list above that should also use the same names, where it
can, so that everything comes together.  It would be nice if this list
included a brief explanation of each of the documents for which
there's a milestone.

If we can clear that minor stuff up with yet one more version, then I
suggest we send that version to the App ADs and ask that they start
the chartering process.

Some procedural notes, for those who aren't sure:
Ultimately, it's the IESG -- all 15 Area Directors -- that decides
whether to charter the working group.  They will put out, on the IETF
announcement list, a copy of the charter, and call for comments n the
IETF discussion list ([e-mail]).  They will also put out "new
work" notices, calling for comments from other standards development
organizations (SDOs), such as OASIS and W3C.  That's usually a pro
forma thing, but sometimes other SDOs have useful comments, or can
point to overlapping work elsewhere.

When the input has been put in, they'll discuss it on an IESG telechat
and come to a decision.  Depending upon the telechat schedule and how
busy they are, a working group could be chartered in something like
six to ten weeks.
