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

The Director is pleased to announce the recharter of the Devices and 
Sensors Working Group:
https://www.w3.org/2022/11/das-wg-charter.html

The group is chartered through 30 November 2024.

The updated charter adds Contact Picker API, Idle Detection API, and 
Compute Pressure to the list of specifications to tentative deliverables 
of the Working Group.

The mission of the Devices and Sensors Working Group is to create secure 
and privacy-preserving client-side APIs that enable the development of 
web applications that interact with device capabilities. Additional 
detail is available in the charter's Scope section:
https://www.w3.org/2022/11/das-wg-charter.html#scope

Use the following form to join or re-join the group. The form will also 
instruct you how to nominate participants:
https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/das/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/2020/09/15-pp-faq.html#recharter

The Working Group chairs are Anssi Kostiainen (Intel) and Reilly Grant 
(Google). The Team Contact is Atsushi Shimono <atsushi@w3.org> for a 
total of 0.1 FTE.

More information about the Devices and Sensors Working Group can be
