[This announcement will be forwarded to W3C group chairs]<br>
<br>
W3C is pleased to announce the recharter of the Media and Entertainment <br>
Interest Group:<br>
<a href="https://www.w3.org/2025/12/me-charter-2025.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.w3.org/2025/12/me-charter-2025.html</a><br>
<br>
The group is chartered through 31 December 2027.<br>
<br>
The mission of the Media and Entertainment Interest Group is to provide <br>
a forum for media-related technical discussions to track progress of <br>
media features on the Web within W3C groups and use of Web technologies <br>
by external organizations, and to identify use cases and requirements <br>
that existing and/or new specifications need to meet to achieve improved <br>
support for media services on the Web.<br>
<br>
Please use the following form to have your organization join the group. <br>
The form will also instruct you how to nominate participants:<br>
<a href="https://www.w3.org/groups/ig/me/join/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.w3.org/groups/ig/me/join/</a><br>
<br>
Please consider diversity when proposing people to participate in W3C <br>
groups. Representation from a wider group of people, especially people <br>
from under-represented groups, is vital for creating web standards that <br>
meet the needs of the wider web community.<br>
<br>
Current participants will remain in this group and are not required to <br>
re-join.<br>
<br>
The group chairs are Chris Needham (BBC), Wolfgang Schildbach (Dolby <br>
Laboratories), Song Xu (China Mobile). The Staff Contact is Ruoxi Ran <br>
(Roy) <<a href="mailto:ran@w3.org" target="_blank">ran@w3.org</a>> for a total of 0.1 FTE.<br>
<br>
We would like to express our most sincere thanks to departing co-Chairs <br>
Tatsuya Igarashi (Sony) and Christopher Lorenzo (W3C Invited Expert) for <br>
their contributions to the Interest Group over the years!<br>
<br>

<br>
All respondents indicated support for the proposed charter, except for <br>
two abstentions. There were no objections. Three suggestions were <br>
received to add the Media Content Metadata JP Community Group to the <br>
coordination list and call out the need to ensure timely updates to <br>
client runtimes to avoid fragmentation of the web platform. The <br>
suggestions were integrated in the proposed charter. The AVS Industry <br>
Alliance was also added to the Coordination section.<br>
