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

The Director is pleased to announce the recharter of the Verifiable
Credentials Working Group.
https://www.w3.org/2022/06/verifiable-credentials-wg-charter.html

The group is chartered through 30 June 2024.

The mission of the Verifiable Credentials Working Group is to make expressing,
exchanging, and verifying credentials easier and more secure on the web.

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/vc/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.

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 new deliverables with
licensing obligations under the W3C Patent Policy. This Call for Participation
triggers the start of the 45 days grace period to re-join. See:
  https://www.w3.org/2003/12/22-pp-faq.html#recharter

The group chairs are Kristina Yasuda (Microsoft) and Brent Zundel (Avast). The
Team Contact is Ivan Herman (15% FTE).

Wayne Chang (Spruce Systems) has stepped down from his role as co-chair of the
group.

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

This announcement follows section 5.7.2 of the W3C Process Document:

and the Call for Participation follows section 4.4 of the W3C Process Document:
