The working group will, once WebRTC 1.0: Real-time Communication Between Browsers reaches Candidate Recommendation, consider working on a new set of low level object-oriented APIs for real-time communication. The activities in the ORTC (Object Real-time Communications) Community Group indicate that there is interest in a new set of APIs. As part of this consideration, the group will reevaluate its deliverables and milestones, and may reconsider its scope. "

It does not require a deliverable -- rather, it explicitly informs the public that the group will revisit its deliverables, milestones, and scope at this point.  Note that this only applies once the WebRTC spec reaches Candidate Recommendation, which it should easily do within the 2-year charter timeframe.

Since these objections were made in a Member-confidential setting, I'm not at liberty to give too much detail about them, but they essentially focused on our proposal to include a WebRTC-NG deliverable when the group hasn't reached LC for any of its current deliverables. You can find more about the objections at https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/33280/webrtc-2015/results

The said updated charter was acceptable to the objectors.
