Invitation to join the Automotive Web Payments Task Force

Dear Participants in the
Web Commerce Interest Group and
Automotive and Web Platform Business Group,

It is our pleasure to announce the launch of the 
 
   Automotive Web Payments Task Force
   https://github.com/w3c/automotive-pay/wiki 

The mission of the task force is to support streamlined and
secure Web payments from connected vehicles.

At various times over the past couple of years, the Business Group
and Interest Group have organized discussions to elevate automotive 
payments use cases within W3C. Our goal in launching this task force is 
to create an ongoing forum for participants from these groups to gain a better
shared understanding of use cases and how the Web could help meet
industry needs.

Rodrigo Meirelles (WEX), Ted Guild (W3C), and Ian Jacobs (W3C)
are leading this joint initiative on behalf of both groups.

The first teleconference of this task force is Thursday, 5 October
from 9:00-9:45am ET. An agenda and call information is available:
  https://github.com/w3c/automotive-pay/wiki/Agenda-20171005

During the call we will review a draft "charter" for our work:

We will also discuss preparations for a face-to-face session that
will take place the morning of 9 November during W3C's TPAC
meeting [1]. The Chairs of the Business Group and Interest Group
will establish the time of the meeting and update each group's
agenda. We are building the agenda here:

To help us plan, we would appreciate if you let us know on this
thread of your plans to join this call, or if somebody else from
your organization would like to attend. If you cannot join the
call but are interested in the task force, please let us know.
We can adjust our weekly call time once we have a sense of who
participates actively on an ongoing basis.

On behalf of Rodrigo Meirelles and Ted Guild;
Ian Jacobs, W3C Payments Lead
