All,
Am hoping (but not expecting :>) that no comments means no issues?
Can we re-try the vote - maybe next week to give everyone time to comment?
I'll just comment to clarify my attitude to some of the points.

This is starting to get rather big and unwieldy. I wonder if we might be better off taking the last three sections (and a few other parts) out of the charter. A lot of this is discussed on the mission/guidelines section of the web page. Does it really need to be in the charter?
To me a charter should be the basic governance structure of the project. We can derive everything else separately.
Thoughts? +/-?
Agree entirely.
My attitude is that the charter should outline the areas of responsibility of the PMC, including oversight of the subprojects, and the provision of guidelines for everyone involved at the XML and sub-project level. Hence the suggestion of documents detailing the procedures for contributors, committers and PMC members, mentioned, but not contained, in the charter as documents for which the PMC is responsible. An important example would be the startup and reporting requirements for subprojects, and the support sub-projects can expect from the project level.
If there is general agreement on the principle here, then we need to work out just what external documents are required, and what the procedures for their modification should be.
