  We shall proceed to discuss the significance of charm dynamics in an era when
the Standard Model is well established in its degrees of freedom but little
understood in quite a few of its different parts. The study of decays and
asymmetries in the decays of mesons with charm quantum numbers provide us
possible insights into the yet uncharted dynamics of the Standard Model at the
GeV scale. We will discuss some interesting channels with hadrons and/or
leptons in the final state, the shortcomings of theoretical structures
currently advocated and future experimental prospects.
