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

W3C is pleased to announce the recharter of the Federated Identity 
Working Group.
https://www.w3.org/2025/02/wg-fedid.html

The group is chartered through 25 February 2027.

The mission of the Federated Identity Working Group is to develop 
specifications that enable users to authenticate an identity or present 
a credential or set of claims, in a way that is compatible with other 
protocols and is supportive of user security, privacy and agency.

The new charter includes the Digital Credentials API, an API to enable 
user agents to mediate access to, and presentation of, digital 
credentials such as a driver's license, government-issued identification 
card, and/or other types of digital credential.

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/fedid/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 a new 
deliverable with licensing obligations under the W3C Patent Policy. This 
Call for Participation triggers the start of the 45 days grace period. See:
https://www.w3.org/2020/09/15-pp-faq.html#recharter

The group plans to have a face-to-face meeting in April 2025.

The group co-chairs are:
  - Heather Flanagan (Spherical Cow Consulting)
  - Wendy Seltzer (Invited Expert)

The Team Contact is Simone Onofri <simone@w3.org> for a total of 0.25 FTE.

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