PROPOSAL: Charter extension for 9 months

After discussion with the W3C, chair, and editors, I propose that we 
extend the current charter for 9 months.

We also, since it is a deliverable at risk, will clarify the charter by 
changing this sentence in the charter as well [1].

"The mission of the Web Cryptography Working Group 
<http://www.w3.org/2012/webcrypto/>, part of the Security Activity 
<http://www.w3.org/Security/Activity>, is to define a high-level API 
providing common cryptographic functionality to Web Applications."

<http://www.w3.org/Security/Activity>, is to define a API providing 
common cryptographic functionality to Web Applications."

Thus deleting the word "high-level". I still hope we can deliver 
something high-level personally, but that is obviously a lower priority 
than getting the low-level, and thus that deliverable is risk.

Note we can go to Last Call *ahead* of schedule if things move quickly.

Everything else will remain in scope using the techniques given in the 
charter, but we must be much tighter around use-cases for secondary 
features.

If there are any concerns or objections, please put them to the mailing 
list. We'll try to get consensus on this the next meeting!

   cheers,
     harry
