Call for Participation: Patents and Standards Interest Group Charter Approved; Join PSIG

Hello,

As a follow-up to this announcement, W3C approved the charter of the 
Patents and Standards Interest Group today:
https://www.w3.org/2004/pp/psig/charter-2021.html

This group is chartered until 31 March 2024.

The Patents and Standards Interest Group (PSIG) is designed as a forum 
for W3C Members to discuss matters regarding the W3C Patent Policy as 
well as W3C copyright in particular and larger issues regarding patents, 
licenses and Web standards. The PSIG is an Interest Group that gives 
feedback to the W3C Team, the Advisory Board and the Advisory Committee; 
PSIG does not make final policy decisions on behalf of W3C.

In 2019-2020, PSIG helped to draft and review an update to the W3C 
Patent Policy to align with Process 2020. On the advice of the 
Membership, W3C adopted that policy on 15 September, 2020.

This PSIG Charter continues the established practice for PSIG to discuss 
and provide feedback on IPR matters. This Charter also permits the PSIG 
to draft or suggest amended or additional patent policy documents.

The chair is Donald Deutsch (Oracle). The team contacts are Wendy 
Seltzer and Rigo Wenning (.1 FTE).

More information about PSIG can be found on its homepage:

Kind Regards,
Xueyuan Jia, W3C Marketing & Communications
