I've been working on a TTWG draft charter recently, available at
  http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/ttcharter20020306.html


It's not completed yet but I encourage all the participants on this
list to review the deliverables and scope section in details, as well
as the participation commitment.

This is non-binding yet, this is only a draft for review of what a
charter for such a WG would look like.

More importantly, we (W3C and this group) need to decide in which
domain/activity of W3C (e.g. WAI, AudioVideo, HTML) this WG belong, or
if we need to create of a new activity and get W3C membership formal
approval, and of course what W3C resources are available to drive it
(very scarce nowadays..).

It'd be good to start with to get an idea of how many W3C members and
other invited experts on this list would _commit_ to participating in
this work, and also who would be willing to chair such a group
(co-chairing is possible).

Once I have more information regarding these questions, I will take
the action to talk to W3C management (domain leaders, director) to see 
where we go from there.
