Re: [p2pi] Updated charter

Gurbani:

We thought that you accepted the comment on tracker-based system per your last email (July 15):

OLD:
The WG will consider tracker-based P2P systems (a la Bit Torrent)
as well as tracker-less P2P networks.

NEW:
The WG will consider tracker-based P2P systems (a la Bit Torrent)
that communicate among its Internet Service Provider (ISP)-based
P2P systems as well as tracker-less (i.e. Non-ISP) P2P networks.

BR/Radhika

PS: We are glad that you included a clarification on "oracle," this serves our purpose.
