The group agreed that the charter for the GATF team should be updated to reflect the new work activities that the group should tackle.

Once agreed, this should then be advertised to attract a broader group membership and participation. 

It was proposed that the current charter page be extracted to a Google Doc and then shared for collaborative editing/comments etc to create a draft that we believe can be the updated charter.

The new charter should reflect the history of the work that the group has performed as well as defining the new work that the group is taking on.
