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

The Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) Working Group charter 
[1] is hereby extended until 2024-07-31.

The group needs some time to handle the impact of the ongoing transition 
from manual testing to automated testing through WPT on some 
deliverables (for example DPub-ARIA, DPUB-AAM, and Accname), as well as 
to adapt to the changes of key participation in the group and the 
transition of WAI staff and roles.

The mission of the Accessible Rich Internet Applications Working Group 
is to enhance the accessibility of web content through the development 
of supplemental attributes, including roles, states, and other 
properties, that can be applied to native host language elements and 
exposed via platform accessibility APIs.

More information about the ARIA Working Group can be found on its 
summary page [2], including information about group Chairs, Team Contact 
and instructions for joining the group.

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact 
Daniel Montalvo, Accessibility Specialist, at dmontalvo@w3.org.

This charter extension follows section 4.5 of the W3C Process Document:

Thank you,

For Philippe Le Hegaret, W3C Strategy and Project Lead,
