[policy-charter] Updates to the charter doc

[Alex Babeanu]

Re: " but I'd urge an evaluation of the existing technologies and choose
one to foster and build upon"
-- I strongly disagree!! Whatever we do should be tech-agnostic. Or are you
proposing to kill right away whichever company/org doesn't use your
"chosen" tech ??

I think the idea is to build interop standards: whatever tech you use, we
need to be able to exchange data about AuthZ. So start top down instead of
bottom up.

Cheers,
