As Peter indicated, however, *migration* seems to be what the whole purpose of this exercise is.
FWIW (as someone who's had experiences with both well and badly drafted project charters)
i'd be inclined to remove the clause since it's unlikely to apply for more than a short period.
IMHO charters should describe the long term purposes of the project in question in broad terms whilst providing only enough detail to allow the project to start to functioning so that it can develop it's own bylaws. it should be easier to change bylaws than the charter and so there are advantages in keeping charters slim.
IMHO the right way to express the necessary short term goal would be for the board to charge the new project with the migration and rationalization separately from the charter.
