Mapping clarification in charter

[Lisa Dusseault]

The IDNABIS WG participants in today's meeting had a clear consensus to go
forward with the mapping document that proposes a common and interoperable
mapping, but does not require it for all use cases.

When the charter was written, the phrase "elimination of character mapping
in the protocol" could legitimately have been interpreted by charter readers
as "no mapping standard or document".   The right thing to do is to fix the
charter with approval of the IETF.

In order to make this a minimal change, how about:

s/elimination of character mapping in the protocol/reduction of dependency
on character mapping/

In context in the charter, this would read

   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:

   [...]
   (iii) A change to the basic approach taken in the design team
   documents (Namely: independence from Unicode version and reduction of
   dependency on character mapping )

I believe this is a better description of what the WG is doing and plan to
take this to the IESG and IETF community.

Thanks,
Lisa
