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

W3C is pleased to announce the recharter of the Accessible Rich Internet 
Applications Working Group.
https://www.w3.org/2025/01/aria-charter.html

The group is chartered through 1 January 2027 .

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.

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

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.

If your organization is currently in the group, please note that you 
will need to have it re-join the group as the new charter adds a new 
deliverable with licensing obligations under the W3C Patent Policy. This 
Call for Participation triggers the start of the 45 days grace period. See:
https://www.w3.org/2020/09/15-pp-faq.html#recharter

The group chairs remain James Nurthen (Adobe) and Valerie Young 
(Igalia). The Team Contact is Daniel Montalvo, <dmontalvo@w3.org>, for a 
total of 0.5 FTE.

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