<DIV>I agree with Chuck and Stephane; however, would Tim's intent of making
sure Council approval for substantive changes is emphasized be met by striking
the phrase "including working definitions and milestones" from the
proposed friendly amendment, such that the issue of whether a change in a
particular definition is substantive will be left to the WG Chair to
determine?</DIV>

<DIV>That is, the proposal could read:</DIV>

sure that the Council is given a chance to approve major changes to the
charter.<BR><BR>However, for the reasons Chuck gave, I am not sure
definitions should be included in that. But in real terms, it doesn't
seem practical to try and separate the definitions from the rest of the
charter in this regard.<BR><BR>Perhaps it's sufficient to include Tim's
proposed amendment and, as suggested, let the WG chair or vice chair
consult with the group to determine if proposed changes are major enough
to require Council approval. That way, I am sure common sense would
prevail when coming to possible definition updates. They are clearly of
a different scope to, say, if the WG felt it needed to add or delete an
objective.<BR><BR>Stéphane<BR><BR>Le 7 mars 2010 à 05:46, Tim Ruiz a
