Ok, the charter isn't the most important thing, what we want to 
accomplish is.

Ok, you'll probably want to plan this part as the last item on the 
agenda because I'm pretty sure that after a few rounds of "geo is good" 
"no it's bad" people aren't in the mood to reach consensus on much of 
anything.  :-)

There are quite a few limitations for people that want to multihome in 
v4. Not everyone may be aware of those and subsequently underestimate 
the latent need for multihoming. So it might be good to document this 
after all.
