PMI just provides a guide. Actually, I have never worked at a place that uses the word "charter" the way PMI defines it. They all used different words and different language. The best thing about PMI and the PMBOK Guide is the fact that it gives us project managers a common language. When writing an article like this one, I can use language that will make sense to other PMI members, even if we have very different practices and word use in our own companies and industries. --Alex Great point, George.

However, you failed to leave out the the PMI institute strictly provides guidance, and that the charter can be developed anyway the organization deems necessary. There is no set standard pushed upon project managers; only the tools that the PMBOK provides. Good paper.
