In the APP, RAI, TSV area reconfiguration, a suggestion to consider:

Carve out a "WEB" area which covers work that should coordinate with 
browsers and W3C.   Other apps (real-time or not) and
transport questions could be one super-group which wouldn't be as big as all 
three.

In Web: HTTP, URI/URL, WebRTC
In non-Web: email, xmpp
Could go either, but better in WEB:  MIME, encodings

The idea is to improve alignment and coordination, and get more 
participation.

Well, it's a grouping that is a bit small to have an AD of its own
and overlaps with other specialisations. The traditional solution
for that would be to have a small cross-area directorate. If we're
going to loosen the boundaries of Areas, I suspect we'll need more
small directorates.
