This is simply not true.  You have posted a set of operational rules,
currently under discussion, which bear as much resemblance to the charter as
a Dog does to a Cat (they're both animals, but that's about it).

Further, see my announcement posted just now.  The *ENTIRE* set of root
servers which made eDNS possible has resigned and will be forming a new
coalition at 12:01 AM tomorrow.

As such I'd say that the charter is dead and gone, as the people who had to
be there to implement it no longer are.
