Change of chair - was (Re: Media & Entertainment Interest Group Charter Extended until 2021-05-31)

Also, please note the change of chairs!

Pierre is stepping down as co-chair of the Interest Group. He should not 
go far though: the IG has been discussing the need to improve support 
for color on the web for some time now, and Pierre continues to chair 
the Color on the Web Community Group where technical issues and 
solutions are now being actively discussed (the group has recurring 
meetings on Monday 21:00-22:30 UTC every two weeks, last one on April 
26). If you haven't done so already, please consider joining the 
Community Group and the discussions:

I am happy to report that Christopher Lorenzo (Comcast) has agreed to 
step up as co-chair of the IG. Welcome, Chris!

Thanks,
Francois.
