Re: [PEPPERMINT] DRINKS PROPOSED Charter ..comments please.

["Richard Shockey" <[e-mail]>]

Thank you Hadriel. 

Now after some conversations with our AD, I think we are in good shape with
the charter as its currently written including the rename. 

There is some clarification in the text I'll fix however there is a strong
suggestion that that we specify a more detailed list of SED data to be
addressed. That means expanding out this sentence below somewhat. We don't
need a exhaustive list only a list that sufficiently bounds the work to be
undertaken. In other words, the AD don't want us wandering off the
reservation.

"Typical SED data includes the mapping of phone numbers to URIs, policies
surrounding admission to various points of network interconnection, and
various other types of interconnect data."  

Anyone want to suggest some text?
