Media RSS already has an effective editor who is also a good listener: Yahoo's David Hall. If the Media RSS folks (or some other constituency who've done their homework) want to use this WG as their venue, that would be great. If not, I would be opposed to modifying the charter. That seems like self-perpetuating bureaucracy. Another way of putting it would be that, absent new participants, I favor completing the autodiscovery and protocol drafts and closing the WG.
