-## Directions for creating a charter
-The information in this file should be created as part of the group formation and approved by your sponsoring group.  See the [Chairs Best Practices policy](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rtXskVd7YyFq74tQ2OrInyM_-OQa228R5UZs5Pm3Vz0/) for more details.
+The E-Trace Encapsulation TG will define how trace packet payloads shall be encapsulated.
 
-A good Task Group (TG) charter describes how it achieves filling in a gap defined by the Special Interest Group (SIG) or Committee that spawned it (directly or dotted line). It lists the specific small set of  deliverables it will deliver.
+In line with the original charter, the ratified Enhanced Trace for RISC-V standard defines packet payloads for instruction and data trace but does not fully define how this should be encapsulated. Chapter 7 gives some illustrative examples but this is insufficiently detailed and informative only.
 
-A SIG is an extension of a Committee, in that its only deliverables are strategy, gaps, and prioritizations, and helping spawn other SIGs or TGs to fill the gaps. A good SIG charter spells out the small set of topic areas their strategy will address along with its responsibilities as laid out in this bullet.
+The E-Trace Encapsulation TG will deliver a normative trace encapsulation specification that:
