The charter is significantly shorter than the previous proposals. 
That's both a good and bad thing, if some important points would be 
lost.  From my perspective, the charter at the moment may not be clear 
enough on the following:

 - the main focus of the WG.  Are we looking at v6-only as well as 
dual-stack?  (I think our main focus should be on dual stack..)  Not 
putting this into the charter might bring distractions..

 - where the bulk of the work relating to other areas (like routing 
protocols, transport, etc.) belongs.  We may not want to get that 
here..  In particular, in goal 1, I don't think v6ops is qualified to 
identify the _appropriate_ solutions to issues in other protocols..

 - what it takes to take new WG items (and to keep it as such).
