[IRP] Another comment on "punch"

[parminder]

Hi All

Since a lot of punchy stuff is coming in now, I think that we should 
carry on taking in these comments and table a version 1.1 or version 2 
whatever it is called in the next 2-3 months.

In fact, at the IRP meeting in Vilnius I had proposed that since we can 
expect a lot of energetic responses with the charter now that a full 
version is out, and also it having had some good visibility through the 
IGF and other spaces, we should use this opportunity to keep taking in 
substantive stuff. We should not rush to close this version. And then we 
should use the new fuller version to be taken more proactively to groups 
that may be outside the typical IG spaces, and seek their engagement.
