Suggestion made during AC review of charter

Hi,

As part of the (still ongoing for a short while) review of our new 
charter, the suggestion was made that this group may want to facilitate 
asynchronous participation to decisions made in synchronous meeting by 
adopting the policy that other groups have adopted:

> [[ Any resolution taken in a face-to-face meeting or teleconference
> is to be considered provisional until 10 working days after the
> publication of the resolution in draft minutes sent to the working
> groups mailing list. If no objections are raised on the mailing list
> within that time, the resolution will be considered to have consensus
> as a resolution of the Working Group. ]]

Such a policy has been added to a number of WG charters:
   http://www.w3.org/2014/06/webapps-charter.html#decisions
   http://www.w3.org/2015/06/webperf#decisions
 
https://w3c.github.io/webappsec/admin/webappsec-charter-2015.html#decisions
   http://www.w3.org/2014/secondscreen/charter.html#decisions

Because I'm reluctant to bring non-absolutely required changes to the 
charter at this point, I'll likely recommend to the Director we abstain 
from adding it to ours this time around; but I'm submitting it to the 
group who might choose to adopt as its own nevertheless, independently 
of its charter. I'll leave it to the chairs to determine if and how that 
policy should be adopted.
