This is a Call for Review of a proposed recharter for the Timed Text 
Working Group:

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.

This updated charter adds the TTML Profiles for Internet Media Subtitles

The proposed team resource for the group remains at 0.15 FTE.
