Charter Update and Actions Needed (2nd Reminder)

Hello,

The Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (AG) expects to be moving to our new charter on or slightly after October 31st. When this occurs, the new group will have no participants.  This is true for our task forces as well since they are subsets of the working group.  If you are in the COGA task force through APA and not otherwise involved in AG, then please disregard this email.

While no immediate action needed, please be aware that you will be receiving an email around October 31st calling for participation in the new group.  We will be reminding participants about this again at meetings and on email over the next week.

If you are part of a member organization<https://www.w3.org/membership/list/>, after you receive the automated email:

  *   Reach out to the Advisory Committee (AC) representative for your organization.
  *   Your organization's AC representative needs to approve and submit you as a representative to the new group.
  *   Note: This can occasionally take time (particularly when an organization has a new AC representative), so we suggest starting the conversation with your AC representative sooner rather than later.

If you are an Invited Expert (IE)<https://www.w3.org/invited-experts/> , after you receive the automated email saying you’ve left the group:

  *   Reapply under Participation to join the Accessibility Guidelines Working Group<https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/ag/>
  *   Note: The W3C has issued new guidance on invited experts<https://www.w3.org/invited-experts/#review> that requires the chairs to review and reconsider all IE's as part of moving to a new charter.

No immediate action is required at this time. If you have questions, please reach out to the chairs.



Kind regards,



AG Chairs
