You bet.  I started playing with a redraft of the charter last year but realized it was too much for one person and there has to be a group dialogue first on a bunch of points.  So among the groups we'll need to form this year is one to rework the charter.

as opposed to this?

It's all a total mess.

As I say...

Nor do we have a Policy Committee.  And so on...

I suggested some time ago we should have a working group or team or whatever on finance that would be led by an EC member.  

I am grading final exams and dealing with a lot of other post-holiday transitional crud, but will get on the ball soon and start peppering the EC and members with requests for help etc.  In the meanwhile, people might have a look at http://mailman.ctyme.com/pipermail/ec-ncuc/2012-December/thread.html#start and follow up on some of the dangling threads already introduced.  We could start by getting the new EC on the ICANN site etc?

Best,

Bill
