I received 2 other suggested tweaks. First, after talking with Tony he explained why it made better sense for the charter to have a broader scope, and then have the WG potentially refine/reduce the scope. So I added the first sentence in red below to describe the additional area where I am trying to recruit participation. In the same theme of "broader scope" I tweaked the "out of scope" aspect based on past feedback to give room to potentially work on protocol extensions that might help tune the user experience to better take advantage of an account chooser.
*Statement of Purpose* This workgroup intends to produce user interface specifications for how a relying party can implement an account chooser for both adding accounts, and selecting an account that was previously added. The specification would include a definition for the API interaction between a JavaScript widget and RP server that are being used in combination to implement an account chooser. *Out of Scope * The working group is not expected to define non-backwards compatible changes to server-server protocols such as OpenID v2.
