Yay! Thanks, Neil, for taking this on (again). :)
I've read over your email and just have some minor comments
and questions. Otherwise, it looks really good.
Proposed Xerces PMC:

I would suggest listing the sub-project of each proposed
PMC member as well. Also, the opening text of the PMC section
in the proposed charter doesn't make it clear that each sub-

says that PMC representatives will be taken from all the
active sub-projects. This is described in detail in 5.4 but
I would reword the opening text to make it more clear on

8.2 New committers are added once a contributor has been
nominated by a committer and approved by at least 50 percent of
the active committers for that subproject with no opposing votes.
Some of the newer sub-projects will be quite small. So do we
want to make the vote only by the active committers of that
sub-project?
