That just sounds like substitution of a single centralized list of domains 
wishing to impose a very restrictive SSP.  I think your solution would fall 
within the charter as written.  

Personally, I don't think it's a better way to solve the problem, but rather 
than engineer the solution into the charter language, why don't we just get 
chartered and then do the work?
