Re: [dispatch] [media-types] Proposed/draft charter for "mediaman"

Hello list,

It’s interesting to see a renovation wind about the registration 
process and details.

I am wondering if the group is the right place to prepare an update of 
the registration template so as remove the Macintosh 4-letter-codes and 
insert clipboard flavours for windows and universal type identifiers for 
macOS.

This was discussed a few times on this mailing list.
I have been in contact with a few media-type proposers, some of which 
have accepted a change of their declaration in this direction.
I have been in contact with one IETF-aware person to update RFC6838 but 
that has not progressed.

Thanks in advance.

Paul
