Bert and James - Sorry for the delay, following your concerns, I've changed some of text of charter as follows; Here is a suggested text (proposed by Jeff) at this stage.
IEEE 802.16 is different from existing wireless access technologies such as IEEE 802.11 or 3G because of the existence of multiple Convergence Sublayers which makes the specification of IP over IEEE 802.16 non-trivial. CHANGE TO: IEEE 802.16 is different from fixed/nomadic-access-oriented IEEE technologies such as IEEE 802.11 or IEEE 802.3ah in that it does not include a rigid upper edge MAC service interface. Instead, it provides multiple "convergence sublayers" with the assumption that the choice and configuration of the upper edge will be done in accordance with the needs of a specific deployment environment (which might be DSL replacement, mobile access, 802.11 or CDMA backhaul etc.). And unlike 3G or xDSL technologies, IEEE 802.16 is not part of an end-to-end system definition.
