Dear all,

   @Bernardita: We were waiting for you but you didn't arrive.  I guess 
you were too busy.

   Let me summarize the results of the call.

   We went through the contents of the Charter and they were considered 
ok.  We have added a specific point regarding sustainability where we 
intend to discuss how we could engage accelerators/VCs which may not be 
involved in any EU-funded program.

   It was also agreed that we will go for defining Co-chairs versus 
Chair with Vice-chairs.

   Another agreement was to invite representatives of the IoF2020 and 
SynchroniCity projects to join the FIWARE Committee.

   A number of meetings have been added.

   I suggest to keep the document open for comments until tomorrow 17:00 
CET.   After that, I will produce a clean version and let you know.  If 
there is no objection, we will submit to the BoD on Friday noon.

   Cheers,

   Juanjo
