Hello, The W3C Advisory Committee received an advance notice that participants of the Web of Things Interest Group (WoT IG) [1] are currently working on an updated charter for the Interest Group [2] and also a charter for the Web of Things Working Group (WoT WG) [3] to standardize cross domain metadata as a basis for different IoT platforms to interoperate, a serialization format, and platform agnostic APIs for applications to interact with things standing for physical and abstract entities. The WoT IG started operation in the beginning of 2015 following the Web of Things workshop [4] in mid 2014. The IG has supported outreach and coordination with a number of external IoT alliances and standards development organizations in respect to the role that W3C can play for enabling semantic interoperability and end to end security across platforms defined by different organizations, and as a basis for countering the fragmentation that is currently holding back the potential for the IoT. The updated charter will continue the IG's existing work items, as well as a increased emphasis on semantic interoperability, and plugfests in collaboration with external groups. The IG and WG are expected to coordinate their activities closely. The IG will support the WG, e.g. through providing use cases and requirements as well as implementation experience. The IG will be expected to propose new work items for transfer to the W3C Recommendation Track, and to consider initiating new work items at the request of other W3C groups, when these requests fall within the charter scope, and are consistent with IG's priorities. Effectively, the existing IG's charter [5] is extended until 31 July 2016, in order to cover the time needed for the rechartering process to complete. Members and public are encouraged to send comments and suggestions for changes to the WoT IG's public mailing-list <public-wot-ig@w3.org> (archive [6]). Members may also discuss the draft charters on <w3c-ac-forum@w3.org>. If you have any questions or need further information, please contact: Dave Raggett <dsr@w3.org> . A formal Advisory Committee Review for the IG's updated charter will be in June; and the WG's proposed charter review is expected in September. This announcement follows section 5.2.2 of the W3C Process Document: https://www.w3.org/2015/Process-20150901/#WGCharterDevelopment The charter extension follows section 5.2.5 of the W3C Process Document: https://www.w3.org/2015/Process-20150901/#charter-extension Xueyuan Jia, W3C Marketing and Communications [1] https://www.w3.org/WoT/IG/ [2] https://www.w3.org/2016/05/wot-ig-2016-alpha4.html [3] https://w3c.github.io/wot/charters/wot-wg-2016.html [4] http://www.w3.org/2014/02/wot/ [5] http://www.w3.org/2014/12/wot-ig-charter.html [6] https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-wot-ig/
