The text isn't a draft charter.  It's a very generic statement of an 
idea.  Formulating that into the detail an actual charter will be helpful.

The text needs to give some explanation of what is being proposed, 
beyond a highly cryptic label like "Cryptographically verifiable logs". 
  A term like that could mean many things and from the message, I can't 
tell what is meant.

The text needs to explain what sort of usage scenario is expected, with 
enough detail to make the scenario substantive.  That permits the reader 
to get a sense of basic/likely relevance to operational environments.
