Subject:  VOTE by 2024-06-17/18: Proposed Charter for the Browser 
Testing and Tools Working Group; Current Charter Extended
Date:  Thu, 16 May 2024 16:19:11 +0800
From:  xueyuan <xueyuan@w3.org>
To:  w3c-ac-members@w3.org


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

This is a Call for Review of a proposed re-charter for the Browser 
Testing and Tools Working Group:
https://www.w3.org/2024/btt-wg-charter.html

Please review the charter and indicate your support using the following 
form:
https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/33280/btt-charter-2024/

The deadline for responses is 03:59 UTC on 18 June 2024 (23:59, Boston 
time on 17 June) [1].

The proposed charter continues the group’s work on the same deliverables 
as the current charter, with the addition of an AT Driver deliverable, 
which “defines a protocol for introspection and remote control of 
assistive technology (AT) such as screen readers, using a bidirectional 
communication channel”.
https://w3c.github.io/at-driver/

Because this proposed charter adds a new deliverable, Advisory Committee 
representatives of current participants will need to have their 
organizations re-join the group if the new charter gets approved.

The expected staff involvement remains 0.05 FTE.

To see all changes relative to the current charter, follow this link:
https://services.w3.org/htmldiff?doc1=https://www.w3.org/2021/08/bbtt-wg-charter.html&doc2=https://www.w3.org/2024/btt-wg-charter.html

The horizontal review of the charter is available as a Strategy Github 
repository issue:
https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues/438

The current charter [2] is hereby extended until 29 June 2024 to 
accommodate the charter review period.

More information about the group can be found on its home page [3], 
including information about group Chair, Team Contact, and instructions 
for joining the group.

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact 
the Working Group's Team Contact, Michael[tm] Smith, at mike@w3.org.

This charter review and extension follow sections 4.3 and 4.5 of the W3C 
Process Document:
