SVG Working Group Charter Review and Work in progress on CSS Working Group Charter

This is an update on SVG charter review and notice of work in progress
on an addition to the CSS charter:

Despite efforts in 2016 to continue SVG work, the level of participation
in the SVG Working Group has been insufficient and recent attempt to
reframe the Working Group did not receive enough support. While work on
the SVG2 specification has been really useful to improve the
specification, the specification was ahead of implementations, without
sufficient implementation experience to deploy those features on the
Web. In addition, the attention of some of the relevant technical
individuals has been split between the graphics efforts in the CSS
Working Group and the SVG Working Group.

W3C has been looking at potential alternatives since January and is
asking the CSS Working Group if they would be willing to help with the
maintenance of the SVG specification [1], since some of the Graphics
expertise as well as the individuals involved would be helpful. The
current proposal is
