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

W3C is pleased to announce the re-charter of the Timed Text Working Group:
https://www.w3.org/2025/06/timed-text-wg-charter.html

The group is chartered through 3 June 2027.

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.

Please use the following form to have your organization join the group. 
The form will also instruct you how to nominate participants:
https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/timed-text/join

Please consider diversity when proposing people to participate in W3C 
groups. Representation from a wider group of people, especially people 
from under-represented groups, is vital for creating web standards that 
meet the needs of the wider web community.

Current participants are not required to rejoin the group.

The group chairs are Nigel Megitt (BBC) and Gary Katsevman (W3C Invited 
Expert). The Team Contact is Atsushi Shimono, for 0.15 FTE.

More information about the group can be found on the group home page:
