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

The Timed Text Working Group charter [1] is hereby extended until 31 
December 2022.

The mission of the Timed Text Working Group is to develop W3C 
Recommendations for the representation of timed text in media, including 
developing and maintaining new versions of the Timed Text Markup 
Language (TTML) and WebVTT (Web Video Text Tracks) based on 
implementation experience and interoperability feedback, and the 
creation of semantic mappings between those languages.

Advisory Committee Review of the proposed charter [2] ended in March. 
There are currently two unresolved Formal Objections by Apple and 
Mozilla, and one resolved Formal Objection by Google [3]. This extension 
will give W3C additional time to issue the decision on the objections 
against the proposed Working Group charter.

[...]
More information about the Timed Text Working Group can be found on its 
summary page [4], including information about group Chairs, Team 
Contact, and instructions for joining the group.

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact 
Team Contact Atsushi Shimono <atsushi@w3.org>.

This extension follows section 4.5 of the W3C Process Document:

Thank you,

For Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director, and
