Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
Chairs,

The RDF Data Shapes Working Group charter [1] is hereby extended until
30 April 2018.

The Working Group completed the Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL)
specification on 20 July 2017 [2]. For maintenance purposes, issues are
submitted to [3]. Following a discussion in the Advisory Board on the
maintenance of W3C Recommendations earlier this year, for now, the
best approach is to do maintenance in the WG, and extending the WG to
allow that.

As such, the Working Group is only allowed to make corrections that do
not add new features [4] to its Recommendation(s) under this charter
extension with very minor team resources.

More information about the RDF Data Shapes Working Group can be found on
its home page [5].

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact
Sandro Hawke <sandro@w3.org>, RDF Data Shapes Working Group Team Contact.

This extension follows section 5.2.5 of the W3C Process Document:

Thank you,

For Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director,
Philippe Le Hégaret, Project Management Lead;
Xueyuan Jia, W3C Marketing & Communications
