Survey on 4K video and the Web

Hi Daniel,

Regarding 4K video and the Web, during the previous call we've agreed that the 
IG will do our first survey on this topic inside and outside W3C to see if there 
are any issues the IG or W3C should deal with. This is because now 4K is reality 
for more people thanks to industry initiatives such as Netflix [1] and Japanese 
satellites [2].

I think it might be better for us to take two step approach for this survey: the 
first step is inside W3C and the second step is outside W3C with referring the 
result of the first one.

What do you think?

Regards,
Yosuke
