Thanks for this :-)

Hmm...  The last sentence is no longer *needed*; is it useful, do you
think?

I'm inclined to a slight modification of your first sentence, and to
keep the second sentence to add a bit of emphasis.  God knows why I'm
bothering; how many people are going to read the charter once the
group's up and running?

How about:
