It was agreed that bug fixes would be applied, but addition of new features to WebVTT would be pushed back to the CCWG which by then would start working on WebVTT v2 (i.e. WebVTT v1 plus new features).

I don’t think the charter text above precludes what you are saying (nor does it assume it).  I would really really like to stop fiddling with the charter and get it approved, too.

The WG is free to ask proponents of new features to work them out in the CG before the WG will take them on.  We don’t need to say that in the charter (it would just constrain us).  But a well-worked out new feature that arrives in the WG and can be, or needs to be, directly adopted into V1, could be taken by the WG *given consensus*.
