Unkep Charms Spec

[Charles Butler]

With no responses to the email within the last 10 days, I ask for a final
call of voices if anyone opposes this spec.

If no word is received in the next 48 hours, I'll push forward with the
motions of having this put in place as our official documented workflow for
unkept charms.

Thanks!
