Group; Current Charter Extended

Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
[This announcement will be forwarded to W3C group Chairs]

This is a Call for Review of a proposed recharter for the Media Working 
Group:
https://www.w3.org/2025/06/media-wg-charter.html

Please review the charter and indicate your support using this online form:
https://www.w3.org/wbs/33280/mediawg-2025/

The deadline for responses is 03:59 UTC on 2025-07-05 (23:59, Boston 
time on 2025-07-04) [0].

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, and exposure of 
metadata event tracks synchronized to audio or video media.

Descriptions in the list of deliverables were adjusted to align with 
actual and planned work, notably on Media Source Extensions, Encrypted 
Media Extensions, and WebCodecs.

The proposed team resource for the group remains at 0.1 FTE.

Current participants will not need to re-join the group if the new 
charter is approved.
