The purpose would be to establish a market standard and assign a symbol to that standard and allow, anyone, who is willing to follow the standard the right to use the logo free of charge.

The minimal characteristics would have to include both Mongoose RQ and BRP. They would probablty have to include systems such as Blood, GORE and SimpleQuest. Clearly the charter couldn't refer to those games explicitly, but the wording would have to be so that those games are not excluded.
So, you would have to have, at the very minimum:
- D100 being the prime die when resolving situations
- Characteristics being based on a Dice Roll but not solely random
- Human characteristics typically in the 3-18 range
- Hit Points being derived from Characteristics
- Damage being weapon + personal - armour
- Previous Experience being Background/Profession based rather than Class Based
- No Character/Race Classes
- No Experience Levels
- Percentage based skills
- Incremental experience
- Skills resolved by rolling below a skill target on a D100
