Maybe I'm a sucker for self-punishment, but I do think that the charter as 
written documents what mandate from the community the IESG thinks that it's 
been operating under, and thus it's appropriate to title it a "charter".

But one clear point to take away from this discussion (which is definitely 
NOT within the charter of problem-statement) is that the charter discussion 
needs to be visible on the IETF list.

I'll go make sure it is.
