Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
Chairs,

This is a Call for Review of a proposed recharter for the Media Working 
Group:
   https://www.w3.org/2021/05/charter-media-wg.html

[...]
The group's current charter [1] is extended until 30 June to accommodate 
the charter review period.

The mission of the Media Working Group is to develop and improve 
client-side media processing and playback features on the Web.

The proposed scope for the Media Working Group remains unchanged, 
covering detection of media capabilities, detection of the autoplay 
policy, statistics on perceived playback quality, generation of media 
streams for playback, playback of encrypted content, exposure of media 
features at the system level to Web applications to Web applications and 
exposure of metadata event tracks synchronized to audio or video media. 
The charter was adjusted to clarify success criteria, including analysis 
of fingerprinting surface introduced and suggested mitigation strategies.

The Media Working Group recently adopted the WebCodecs specification as 
a normative deliverable following a period of incubation in the Web 
Platform Incubator Community Group, as envisioned in its current charter.

The group will operate under the revised 2020 Patent Policy. Current 
participants will need to re-join the group when a new charter is approved.

A diff from the current charter is available [2].

The group is chaired by Chris Needham (BBC) and Jer Noble (Apple).

For more information about the group and participation, see its home 
page [3].

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact 
Francois Daoust <fd@w3.org>, Team Contact for the Media Working Group.

This charter review and extension follow sections 5.2.3 and 5.2.5 of the 
W3C Process Document [4][5].

Thank you,

For Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director,
Philippe Le Hegaret, Project Management Lead;
Xueyuan Jia, Marketing & Communications
