A very much needed interoperation between IM systems! So, I can only applaud the effort. The charter is really easy to read, may I add some comments below:

"assuming the use of MLS for key establishment." is a little ambiguous, is it in all individual participating IMs or only between IMs ?

Perhaps due to the Belgian sensitivity about "federation" ("fédération" in French means that there is still an overarching authority), and I appreciate that the terms "federated identities" are commonly used, is there any better term ? ("conglomerate" sounds negative ;-) ). Feel free to ignore this Belgian/French comment.

Again my French is probably hitting, should "Express and implied user preferences" be replaced by "Expressed/explicit and implied user preferences" ?

I am afraid that in 2023, there are more than "plain text" (suggest to add media) in "including plain and rich text"

I like the concept of "extensible baseline" (is it an oxymoron? ;-) ), but let's keep it: this is a moving target and every human being starts by crawling before walking and running.

Should there be a "1:n" between "both 1:1 and multiparty messaging" ?
