My inclination is to abstain from the charter review with the following comments: ----- There's one thing that's worded in a somewhat strange way in the charter. There's a sentence saying: The Group is expected to produce annual updates for the Recommendation with previously unspecified features. I think this is intended to mean that the group is expected to have a maintenance process that produces new versions of WebVTT annually, and that these new versions may add new features. It may be worth rewording this to avoid the somewhat unclear "previously unspecified features". We also suggest the other minor fixes: 1. https://github.com/w3c/charter-timed-text/pull/30 2. fix spelling "Recommandation" -> "Recommendation" (twice) ----- (I'm suggesting an abstention because I think we support the WebVTT work but not the TTML/IMSC work. That said, we also haven't had the resources to be involved in that work lately.) -David -- 𝄞 L.
