Timed Media Working Group and Media Capture Task Force

Hi,

As you may be aware, there are ongoing discussions on the chartering of 
a new media-dedicated Working Group in W3C:
   http://w3c.github.io/charter-html/timed-media-wg.html

While there is still much uncertainty as to whether and when such a 
charter would be adopted, I have received suggestions that such a group 
might be the right host for some of the specifications developed in our 
Media Capture Task Force, should it happen that the WebRTC and Device 
APIs Working Group choose to stop working on them.

I have thus prepared some text for the Timed Media Working Group charter 
that would enable them to pick up our work should we choose to ask it:
 
https://github.com/dontcallmedom/charter-html/commit/653789703cf74ac89cf7f2ce899aa68bcbea3b1a

This doesn't force us to move it there at any time, nor does it grant 
any special right to that would-be new group — it would simply make it 
easy to do so if we were to choose such an option.

Given this, and given that the resulting charter would go through an AC 
review in any case, I'm going to send that suggestion as a pull request 
tomorrow; but if someone can think of a strong reason why I should not 
do so, please let me know ASAP.

(sorry for the short heads-up, but as some of you know, getting all 
stars to line up for a charter is a challenge)
