> This is to inform you that Gregg Kellogg (Invited Expert) has been 
> appointed as co-Chair of the JSON-LD Working Group [0]. He joins 
> continuing co-Chair Benjamin Young (Digital Bazaar).
> 
> The JSON-LD Working Group charter [1] is also hereby extended until
> 2025-11-30, to allow the group to finalize work on a future new
> charter [2].
> 
> The objective of the new charter is to align the JSON-LD specifications 
> with the upcoming RDF 1.2 specifications, and to move to REC track the 
> work on YAML-LD and CBOR-LD incubated in the JSON-LD Community Group.
> 
> Work on this new charter started in February 2025 [3] and has taken
> longer than expected, mostly because the active participants of the WG
> (as well as the team contact) have been busy with other related WG
> activity (RDF & SPARQL, Verifiable Credentials). The group is however
> confident that it is near closure on this new charter.
> 
> If you have any questions or need further information, please contact 
> Pierre-Antoine Champin, JSON-LD WG Team Contact, at <pierre-antoine@w3.org>.
> 
> This announcement follows sections 3.4.1 [4] and 4.5 [5] of the W3C Process Document.
