Clearly, Roy and I have a different perspective on what the original
URI charter said.

[Among other things, Roy said:]

Perhaps you are proposing an explicit return to what YOU interpreted the
original charter to mean. Evidently, there are several different
interpretations of that document, and the group would perhaps be best
served by finding a concensus interpretation.

I think it's pretty sad that you feel obliged to ascribe differences in
opinion to such dark motives. As I have said, I do not believe
I am expanding the charter, having talked with Peter about what _he_
thought he was writing in that document.

I'm not advocating bogging the group down any further. Let us also
distinguish between the charter and an agenda. My first proposed charter
re-write included URCs and URAs, and other important-and-related topics,
but the milestones focussed on getting URLs and URNs finished with first.

I am sorry, however, that you will not be here for the URI-WG meeting where
I hope to do a 10 minute presentation of an Internet application that is NOT
WWW, and yet uses URIs... there is a much bigger Internet world out there
than just the WWW....

Cheers!
Leslie.
