Re: [Tools-discuss] meta-issues on charter discussions

[<Pasi.Eronen at nokia.com>]

The tools WG pages used to have diffs between charter versions
(see e.g. http://tools.ietf.org/wg/tls/charters/ -- the "delta"
symbol leads to side-by-side diff between the versions), but 
it looks like this broke when new www.ietf.org was deployed
in July.... 

Best regards,
