New Audio WG Co-Chairs, Charter Extended 2 Years

Hi, folks–

I'm pleased to announce two bits of news for the Audio WG.


First, the new co-chairs.

Olivier has done a fantastic job of chairing the Audio WG, but his other 
work responsibilities require him to step down (if you want something 
done, ask a busy person).

Joe Berkovitz (Noteflight) and Matt Paradis (BBC) have generously agreed 
to step up as co-chairs. I'm confident that these two will perform 
admirably in this role, and will complement each other.

While this change is effective immediately, Olivier will stay on as 
Chair Emeritus for the next few months, to help ease the transition.

Please join me in thanking Olivier, and welcoming Joe and Matt!


Second, the Audio WG charter has been extended for another 2 years.

The old charter expired on 01 September 2014; since our deliverables 
have not changed, we did not have to go to review by the Advisory 
Committee, and were simply granted a reprieve until 01 September 2016; I 
have adjusted the dates of the deliverables accordingly, though I'd love 
to see us deliver them sooner.

Please join me in thanking the old charter, and welcoming the new one!
