Please find below the draft agenda for Thursday's WREC meeting. If there 
are any further suggestions / changes, please drop a note to myself and / 
or Bill or speak up at the start of the meeting.

As stated previously, the purpose of this meeting is two-fold:

	- final analysis of our existing drafts, in preparation for publication
	- discussion of our charter; our current one is almost complete

6. What next...?				- 30 mins

	We need to discuss re-chartering WREC. The mood I have gauged from the 
group is that we need to define a charter with some real work items and 
development in it. In particular, the areas of:

	- replication methods,
	- inter-proxy communication,
	- proxy to network-element communication,
	- proxy / replica discovery

to name but a few, seem to always crop up.

However, we need to ensure that we define a realistic charter we know we 
can work through.
