Perhaps the charter should be ammended to state that the purpose is to
work on the development of a CORBA to OLE bridge.  Positioning Python
as the preferred solution for bridging between these technologies would
be a real service to the industry.  It would also be the kind of high profile
activity that might bring more attention to the language.  

This final goal would first require defining a CORBA and OLE
interface, so those tasks would remain focused.  Perhaps the initial
thread of the SIG could be to discuss the feasibility of the project.

Is it agreed that the SIG name will be org-sig@python.org?
