Call for participation: Audio Working Group switching to Patent Policy 2020

Dear group members,

I'm relaying the announcement to the Working Group's primary public 
mailing list, to notify the group members that the group is now 
rechartered under the Patent Policy 2020, triggering a 45-day grace 
period [1] for current participants to rejoin the group.

Kind Regards,
Xueyuan Jia, W3C Marketing & Communications
