Of course if you want to amend the charter to require action by
the co-cos as stated in your note, then that is something that you
and 9 others who agree with you can have put to a vote by the
qualified members.
In Sela's reply there seemed to be an implication (forgive me if I
misunderstood, it is what i inferred) that it was up to Jeremy's
WG to review all amendments. I do not think this is the case. Any
10 people can submit amendments anytime - they do not need to be
processed first by any group or by the co-cos for that matter.
There is certainly no problem with Jeremy and a group of
likeminded individuals getting together to propose amendments, it
is just that the Charter does not give special status to a WG and
its requests. It is, for all intents and purposes the same as any
self-selected group of 10 or more members who might decided to put
a proposal for charter amendment.</blockquote>
