Fwd: EPUB 3 Working Group Charter Approved; Call for Participation

The EPUB 3 WG is now operational!

We should probably notify the Publishing WG and possibly the BG about this, to get people to join. The plan is to hold the first telco in about 3 weeks.

Youpee:-)

> 
> 43 members supported the charter as is, 2 members suggested changes but without a formal objection, and 1 member abstained.
> https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/33280/epub3wg/results
> 
> The two suggested changes were identical and led to some minor changes on the proposed charter (reinforcing the need to provide tests for any proposed changes on the EPUB 3 documents, see [1] for the details). No substantial change on the charter was introduced.
