The charter is available online from http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/idnabis-charter.html. I draw your attention to this passage:
The assumptions outlined above are considered critical to the WG
constituted by this charter. The WG will stop work and recommend
that a new charter be generated if it concludes that any of the
following are necessary to meet its goals:
(i) A change to the "punycode" algorithm or to the ACE approach to
encoding names in the DNS.
(ii) A change to the ACE prefix from "xn--"
(iii) A change to the basic approach taken in the design team
documents (Namely: independence from Unicode version and elimination of
character mapping in the protocol)
I'm not sure how it could be clearer.
