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

W3C is pleased to announce the charter of the Exploration Interest Group:
https://www.w3.org/2025/04/exploration-ig-charter.html

The group is chartered through 22 April 2027.

The mission of the Exploration Interest Group is to provide W3C Members 
with a forum to explore and discuss emerging web-related technology 
trends and consider how the community could collaborate to shape those 
trends for the benefit of web users.

Please use the following form to have your organization join the group. 
The form will also instruct you how to nominate participants:
https://www.w3.org/groups/ig/exploration/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.

The group chairs are Heather Flanagan (Spherical Cow Consulting) and Jet 
Ding (Huawei). The Team Contact is Xueyuan Jia <xueyuan@w3.org> for a 
total of 0.05 FTE.

The group plans to have its first face-to-face meeting at TPAC 2025 in 
Japan.

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