## Substantive changes

‘MathML Core level 2’ is demoted to ‘tentative deliverable’.

Ditto for the requirements for MathML 5.

‘XML Entity Definitions for Characters’, previously mentioned as in scope for a future charter is now explicitly a deliverable. And, related to this, the Unicode Consortium is now mentioned as an organization to coordinate with.

There is additional auxiliary material under ‘other deliverables’, including software and a suggested mapping of LaTeX to accessible MathML.

## Communities suggested for outreach

See the section [‘Coordination’](https://w3c.github.io/mathml-docs/charter-2026.html#coordination) in the draft charter.

## Known or potential areas of concern

Issues on the charter can be raised in the mathml-docs repository of the Math WG: https://github.com/w3c/mathml-docs/issues

## Anything else we should think about as we review? 

Note: proposed chairs should be copied @... on this issue: @NSoiffer, @bkardell

Note: The Technical Strategy Team Lead or Project & Process Team Lead will assign the issue to a [Charter Facilitator](https://www.w3.org/guide/process/charter.html#cr-acceptance) for new charters. For rechartering, the team contact is the Charter Facilitator by default, please assign the issue to them directly.
