Tammy,
Soma says it: develop charter and identify stakeholders are 2 separate activities during the initiation process group.
Identify stakeholders will be a almost continuous process as new people and groups become relevant for the project, others may even vanish.
A good book of Tom Peters, The Project 50, explains 50 good practices, 25 of which take place before the project even starts and are dealing with stakeholders. So identify stakeholders may even begin before the charter is defined.
The charter is meant to be the birth certificate for the project. Even if you know the 50 people in your family, you will only mention parents and the godfather in the birth certificate. Those people relevant for the purpose of the document.
And to Soma, each and every requirement indeed is linked to a stakeholder. In larger projects or in contractual situations, requirements are probably listed before the charter. Then you have to start identification of stakeholders even before that, in a pre-project or during a BA activity (this is for Sergio).
