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

W3C is pleased to announce the recharter of the Media and Entertainment 
Interest Group:
https://www.w3.org/2025/12/me-charter-2025.html

The group is chartered through 31 December 2027.

The mission of the Media and Entertainment Interest Group is to provide 
a forum for media-related technical discussions to track progress of 
media features on the Web within W3C groups and use of Web technologies 
by external organizations, and to identify use cases and requirements 
that existing and/or new specifications need to meet to achieve improved 
support for media services on the Web.

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/ig/me/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 will remain in this group and are not required to 
re-join.

The group chairs are Chris Needham (BBC), Wolfgang Schildbach (Dolby 
Laboratories), Song Xu (China Mobile). The Staff Contact is Ruoxi Ran 
(Roy) <ran@w3.org> for a total of 0.1 FTE.

We would like to express our most sincere thanks to departing co-Chairs 
Tatsuya Igarashi (Sony) and Christopher Lorenzo (W3C Invited Expert) for 
their contributions to the Interest Group over the years!

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