Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
[This announcement will be forwarded to W3C group chairs]

W3C is pleased to announce the re-charter of the Accessible Platform 
Architectures Working Group.
https://www.w3.org/2023/07/apa-wg-charter.html

The group is chartered through 31 July 2025.

The mission of the Accessible Platform Architectures Working Group is to 
ensure W3C specifications provide support for accessibility to people 
with disabilities. The group advances this mission through review of W3C 
specifications, development of new specifications and technical support 
materials, collaboration with other Working Groups, and coordination of 
harmonized accessibility strategies within W3C, including monitoring and 
participation in W3C Security, Privacy, and Internationalization activities.

Please use the following form to have your organization join the group. 
The form will also instruct you how to nominate participants:
https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/apa/join/

Please consider diversity when proposing people to participate in W3C 
groups. Representation from a wider group of people, especially people 
from under-represented groups, is vital for creating web standards that 
meet the needs of the wider web community.

Current participants are not required to rejoin this group because the 
charter includes no new deliverables that require W3C Patent Policy 
licensing commitments.

The group chairs are Matthew Atkinson (TPG Interactive) and Janina Sajka 
(Invited Expert). The Team Contact is Roy Ruoxi Ran, <ran@w3.org>, for a 
total of 0.3 FTE.

More information about the group can be found on the group home page:
