Re: [gnso-ppsc-wg] Proposed Working Group Team Charter

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

i think i'm confused.

if we're working on a draft of our charter (your attached redline), 
isn't now the time to answer those questions?  or alternatively, 
should we re-title the document we're working on right now, so's to 
leave room/time for that first-objective charter-review you're describing?
a sketchy charter can lead to troubles down the line...

at a minimum, i'd like to see a definition of the problem we're 
supposed to be solving, a description of the deliverables, a hint of 
the tasks in in front of us and a description of our roles and 
responsibilities as working group members.
