Here is a rough draft starting point for discussion, just one proposal
(is that enough disclaimers?) for a set of new, focussed, short term
working groups. The actual charters of the working groups and their
milestones will have to be written by the WG members.

(A) URL

Charter scope: finish URI work on URLs.

some possible milestones:
---- new URL schemes to standard
---- revise 1738, move to draft standard
---- move 1808 to draft standard
---- Informational RFC on vetting new URL schemes

================================================================
(B) URC Syntax & Structure

Charter scope:
create RFC standards track with just URC syntax,
attribute sets, definition, registration(?)
some possible milestones:
--- URC syntax requirement
--- URC drafts (SGML, Trivial URC) to proposed standard
================================================================
(C) Information resolution

Charter scope:
create RFCs on distributed database algorithms
protocols, infrastructure on URN -> URL,
URC, ratings (?) etc., resolution, update, dissemination

some possible milestones:
--- generic URN syntax
--- URC scenarios draft to informational RFC
--- Interim report/draft RFC of group studying URN proposals
--- Informational RFC on general URN resolution
--- Proposed standards for specific URN syntaxes
--- Proposed standards for specific URN resolution procedures
--- Draft of RFC1737 changes
--- Revise RFC1737 (URN requirements)

================================================================-
(D) URI architecture

Charter scope:
create informational RFC surveying current state of relationship
between URI proposals, other kinds of naming and resolution
systems, current experiments on larger internet community

some possible milestones:
--- Draft Uniform resource relationship paper for discussion
--- URA draft to experimental RFC
--- proposed standards(?) for specific URC applications

================================================================
(E) Bibliographic Resource Descriptions

Charter scope:
Develop a bibliographic tag set,
(should also describe relationship to IAFA and CSTR and other tagsets)

some possible milestones:
standards-track or informational RFC on tagset
