Fwd: Advance notice: Working in progress on a Math Working Group Charter

This is, obviously, very important for our community. I wonder whether it is worth inviting the potential co-chair of the WG to, say, a BG call to see if what they want to do is in line with the publishing community's needs…

(They did a presentation at TPAC, b.t.w.)

> Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
> Chairs,
> 
> This is an advance notice that the Team is currently working on a draft charter [1] for a Math Working Group.
> 
> MathML is a widely used markup language for the form and meaning of math formulas, usable both as part of HTML5 and on its own. The first version, MathML1, became a W3C Recommendation in 1998; the current version, MathML3 2nd edition, was published in 2014. The proposed WG will develop "MathML Core" and "MathML4", starting from reports produced by the MathML Refresh Community Group. MathML Core is a minimal subset that can be easily implemented and tested, especially as part of HTML, and that works well with CSS. MathML4 includes MathML Core and extends and revises MathML3.
