Bill and all,
Great points her Bill. We agree that is would be extremely helpful
to propose a charter. INEGroup is already operating under it's own
loose charter. (More comments below yours)

I believe that the generally thrust is towards the opening up of
Board meeting is mainly dealing with fundamental policy issues, yes.
It is however potentially necessary to make ALL ICANN BOard meeting
open and minuets taken due to the general mischievous and secretive
manner in which the ICANN INterim Board has been behaving from
it's inception and due to the nature of its leaders (Mike Roberts and
Esther Dyson in particular), as Esther specifically has been very
public about NOT wanting these board meetings public.

I am a bit confused here Bill as to what group to which you are referring to
and as to whether a CHARTER for conducting polls or is this CHARTER
for another purpose? Please advise.

Agreed, but there are some that I did not list as well. They were mainly
just for the purposes of examples.

Agreed completely.

Agreed here as well. However I do not agree with the format below
without a statement as to how things are done or perceived to be
considered to be done as a precursor to any poll questions if that
information is available or generally considered.
