Proposed new Charter

Hi all,

Giri recently identified [1] that the current charter [2] is not 
sufficient now that the recording, in the interest of making quicker 
progress, has been spun off into its own document.

The proposed new charter is (thanks to Giri for supplying the text):
================================================================
The Media Capture Task Force is a joint task force of the Web Real-Time 
Communications and Device APIs WGs that aims to produce APIs to capture 
media from cameras and microphones in a manner that is both simple for 
local-only use cases and amenable to real-time streaming.

The mailing list on which the TF's discussions take is 
public-media-capture@w3.org. The chairs are Stefan Håkansson and Harald 
Alvestrand. Since any participant in either group can join the TF, 
decisions are made by consensus inside of the task force and do not 
require separate ratification by the wider groups.

Operational modalities such as whether or not to have phone and/or face 
to face meetings, as well as where to store the draft document are left 
to the TF to decide by consensus.

Given that the deliverables are covered by both groups' charters, the 
resulting specifications will be covered by the union of RF commitments 
for both groups.
==================================================================

Unless there are any objections raised (unlikely since that changes are 
minor) to the proposed new charter before end of this week we will go 
ahead and inform the DAP and WebRTC WGs that the TF' charter has been 
updated next week.

Stefan for the chairs.
