[Federated-fs] FedFs text for charter

[James Lentini]

As the NFSv4 working group expands their charter to include the issues 
of constructing a federated namespace, we have an opportunity to help 
them with the additional text for the charter. Craig and I have put 
together this piece of text as a draft for the modifications for the 
working group charter. Please let us know if you have comments.

Spencer and Brian will have the final decision on what text to use.

We may also need a set of milestones.

 + Federated Namespace
 
   The NFSv4 protocol provides a referral mechanism that allows a
   server to redirect a client to another server. The working group
   will produce documents describing a mechanism for creating a
   federated namespace using the NFSv4 protocol's referral
   capabilities. In addition, these documents will describe a 
   convention for a shared global namespace. The file system 
   federation protocol will enable file access and namespace 
   traversal across collections of independently administered 
   fileservers. No modifications will be made to the
   NFS client to server protocol.
