Revised Community Group charter – request for feedback

(With apologies for the lateness of this email: this was posted to the 
blog on the CG web site yesterday.)

Since our group’s priorities have become clearer over the past couple of 
months, the co-chairs have been working on revisions to the group’s 
charter in order to reflect the group’s current set of priorities.

The main proposed changes to the charter are as follows:

• Update the timeline for the releases of MusicXML 3.1 and SMuFL 1.2
• Explicitly identify the MNX container format, CWMNX and GMNX 
representation formats as the main deliverables of the group’s work
• Propose that the initial versions of these three formats should be 
published by the end of 2018
• Defines the development of test suites to support MNX, CWMNX and GMNX, 
and the development of software to aid in the conversion of MusicXML 
documents to CWMNX documents.

Please read the revised charter here:

The procedure for changing a community group’s charter is that the 
revisions are proposed to the members of the group, who then have a period 
of 30 days to vote whether to accept or reject the revisions. Before we 
embark on the formal voting process, we would like to invite comments and 
feedback from members of the group.

The co-chairs propose that we have a period of two weeks for gathering 
feedback on the charter, and we ask that all feedback should be posted to 
the public-music-notation-contrib@w3.org mailing list before Monday 3 
July. On or after Monday 3 July, the co-chairs will announce the formal 
start of the vote for the approval of the new charter.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to review the proposed changes to 
the charter. The co-chairs look forward to hearing your feedback.

Daniel
