[R-C] Charter

Hi,

Thanks for all your inputs! I agree with all of them, from Matt and John, except:

because, indeed, as Randell says, this edges towards a solution space. Low delay has always been there, I added "and low jitter" now - but the other things are assumptions that I think we shouldn't make (in particular the third item). They may or may not be correct, depending on the codec in use, and so this gets too narrow IMO if we write it in the charter.

Cheers,
Michael
