Charter draft for discussion and review

Previous charter

Created from the latest charter template. Drops Web Audio API 2.0 in favor of continuing to update the existing Web Audio API Recommendation. Drops "A specification for efficient low-level audio hardware device access" which was in the previous charter but was not developed, and will now simply be part of Web Audio API.

Proposed charter is on GitHub

This looks good to me, I think that removing the V2 reference was the main change that needed to be made. One admin comment, the group currently meets fortnightly rather than weekly.

diff from previous (current) to proposed: https://services.w3.org/htmldiff?doc1=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2020%2F12%2Faudio-wg-charter.html&doc2=https%3A%2F%2Fw3c.github.io%2Fcharter-drafts%2F2022%2Faudio-2022.html

it seems a link to the currently running charter is missing in charter history

hoch commented 2 years ago

Looks good to me as well.

svgeesus commented 2 years ago

The diff looks more complex because the charter template has also changed quite considerably since the previous charter was created.

No comment/request from i18n.

@svgeesus Do you want issues raised in this thread or....? (This is one of the questions in our issue template.) (Also, the "on Github" link above points to the template.)

samuelweiler commented 2 years ago

No privacy nor security issues. Consider expanding the acronym "PCM" on first use.

Should we list Media WG as a dependency? @tidoust

Link "Audio Working Group home page." in saection 6 needs an update.

The Media WG charter lists the Audio Working Group in its coordination section, although without noting anything specific. Audio is in scope of WebCodecs in particular and e.g. provides more flexible decoding capabilities as decodeAudioData, so it makes sense to me to note that the two groups will somehow coordinate. I wouldn't call that a "dependency" though.

svgeesus commented 2 years ago

Media WG added, with no specific dependency

svgeesus commented 2 years ago

Thanks for the timely review, @plehegar !

svgeesus commented 2 years ago

Alan has also signed off on this so it is ready to go for AC review. I will create the WBS.

plehegar commented 2 years ago

Approved by W3M: https://www.w3.org/2022/02/16-w3m-minutes.html#t04

svgeesus commented 2 years ago

Sent for AC review Mon, 21 Feb 2022, deadline midnight Boston 2022-03-21

plehegar commented 2 years ago

We got a formal objection: https://www.w3.org/Member/wiki/DirectorFOdashboard#Audio_Working_Group_charter

Waiting on @svgeesus

hoch commented 2 years ago

I would like to help clarify the intent and the roadmap of the group, but it'd be really helpful if I can understand what is exactly missing.

svgeesus commented 2 years ago

The formal objection has multiple parts and I have been discussing them part by part with Chaals on w3c-archive@w3.org. So far two of them have been withdrawn, without changes to the charter or the charter template. Working on the third one now.

svgeesus commented 2 years ago

As of yesterday, all portions of the formal objection have been withdrawn. An updated charter has agreement from all commentors | diff, compared to the charter sent to the AC

Today I am documenting the changes and then asking W3M to approve the charter

hoch commented 2 years ago

Great to hear that! Thanks for your help, @svgeesus and @plehegar!

svgeesus commented 2 years ago

New charter announced 14 June
