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

With this charter review notice, the W3C Team initiates refinement for a 
draft MiniApps Working Group charter:
https://w3c.github.io/charter-drafts/2025/miniapps-wg.html

Following our recent face-to-face meeting, the group is exploring a 
redesign of the MiniApps framework based on Web technologies. The aim is 
to leverage host app and OS capabilities to achieve better performance 
and a superior mobile experience for users, developers, and implementers.

We encourage early discussion of this draft charter in this public forum:
https://github.com/w3c/miniapp/issues/new/

Members may use w3c-ac-forum@w3.org (archive[1]) for general expressions 
of interest and support for the charter, but please use the public forum 
for detailed discussion.

Section 4.2 of the Process Document [2] describes activities during 
charter refinement and the role of the Chartering Facilitator to seek 
consensus among those who provide feedback about the charter.

The W3C Team estimates that this charter refinement will last until 
approximately 13 January 2026.

If you should have any questions or need further information, please 
feel free to contact the Chartering Facilitator, Xiaoqian Wu 
<xiaoqian@w3.org>.

The current charter [3] is hereby extended until 12 April 2026 to cover 
the time needed for the rechartering process.

More information about the group can be found on its home page [4], 
including information about group Chairs, Staff Contact, and 
instructions for joining the group.

This announcement follows sections 4.1 and 4.6 of the Process Document:
