Web&TV IG: next steps

Hi all,
this is a quick summary of what are the next steps the Web&TV IG will  
undertake, as we discussed (and agreed) during our F2F in Lyon. This is  
just a very quick summary to make everybody aware of what is going to  
happen, more detailed info to follow.

= Charter =

The group has decided to ask the W3C Management for rechartering. Chairs  
are drafting a new version of the charter that will be sent out soon to  
members for review.


= New TFs =

During TPAC 2012 we have identified a prelimiary list of topics that  
members are interested to work on.
Each topic will start with a dedicated TF (we may decide to merge some of  
them later on once is clearer the scope of each TF). They are:

* Testing TF
- Identify Requirements for testing from a “Web and TV” perspective
- act as a bridge between ongoing activities in W3C and other  
organizations interested in testing W3C specifications

* Recording and Downloading Media
- Identify requirements for recording and downloading media

* Terminal Capabilities
- Investigate requirements for discover and control of device capabilities  
(e.g. tuner control)
(note: this TF already had a kick off meeting during TPAC break out  
sessions. see notes here

* Content Metadata Exposure and Content Synchronization
- Investigate how to expose TV metadata to web applications
- Investigate mapping between Media Element API and in-band metadata
- Synchronization up to frame accurate

* Stereoscopic 3D Web
- Investigate impact of 3D Video/Graphics on HTML and other web standards

* TTML / WebVTT coexistence
- Collect the different TTML/SMPTE-TT based specs used by the industry and  
feed it into the Timed Text WG
- Try to define a strategy for caption tech. coexistence
- Follow the effort in mapping between the TTML and WebVTT going on into  
the Timed Text WG


More info on each TF coming soon.
