The charter was officially adopted by TechCom (ne ArchCom) during its regular meeting on July 26th.
During the last call period, there was one objection raised on the mailing list. I replied there, and the committee members feel that the objection was sufficiently addressed, and does not block adoption of the policy.
Thank you everyone for your input!
As per the Architecture Committee Meeting on July 20th, the charter is entering the Last Call period.
If no new and pertinent concerns are raised and remain unaddressed by July 26, the charter will be enacted as the new basis of the committee's operation and authority.
For the on-wiki record, User:MZMcBride has objected here: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2017-July/088509.html. I'm not familiar enough with ArchCom to feel comfortable joining in the objection, but I think that there should be a carefully considered response to it.
Of course we respond - what would be the point of a Last Call period otherwise? But he's raising fundamental concerns after weeks of bikeshedding over phrases. Took me a bit to shift gear ;) But you can find my response on wikitech-l now, see https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2017-July/088514.html.
