Alia,

I think that this merger is long overdue, and hopefully it will help new 
features to be written in an aligned way.

I think the remit to perform general maintenance should slightly 
clarified since the way the charter is written they look like they are 
at a lower priority than the enumerated list.

I would have thought that "LSR can coordinate with CCAMP and BIER on 
their extensions " should have been more directive.
