I would suggest acouple of changes to Ross' proposal:
a) the 1/15 date should slide to allow for more time for
analysis. This is the key task for us and should not be rushed.
I'd rather see us compress the final review.
b) analysis of the feasibility of the implementation should
include comparison to - and consideration of - alternative or additional
transfer proposals such as that proposed by the VGRS registry as an efficient
tool for the committee to utilize.

Subject: [nc-imptransfer] Proposed Charter Documents
Bruce/All,
I would like to request that we include a discussion of this
charter
proposal on tomorrow's agenda. I'm sure that
all of you would agree that
that in order to meet the
objectives that have been set forth by the NC
for this
group, we will need to have a clear understanding of what it is
we have been tasked to do and when we need to go it by. As
this is our
first call, I'm not sure if someone else
has been tasked by our interim
Chair to come up with a
similar proposal or not, so in the absence of
information to the contrary, I offer the following contribution.
It would be my intention to agree upon this, or revised text,
during
tomorrows call in order that we can proceed
with our work quickly and
effectively. Note that with
the exception of the mandate, all of these
items are
up for grabs and purely intended to act as a focal point for
our discussion. If it needs to change, then we should change it as
a
group ;)
Please do not hesitate to drop me a note if you have any
questions or
require clarification on this
proposal.
