Presence and IntComm WG

[Jeremy George <>]

Roger,

  This group was originally conceived on an IETF working group model
which says that groups are formed for a purpose and, when that purpose
is completed, have a party and go out of existence.  They are not
intended to be indefinitely ongoing entities.

  If the charter is in play, then it should also be considered that the
group has fulfilled its purpose and simply go out of existence.  This
isn't to say that the PIC group should go away, only that it should not
be automatically re-chartered without the same level of justification
that was required to form the group in the first place.

  I also note that some of the questions below, although good,  are
a bit specific for a charter.  *Possibly* you would want to keep the
issues fairly general.  What is the basis of the group?  What are the
major goals?  What are the general deliverables?

- Jeremy
