Hello, With this charter review notice, the W3C Team initiates refinement for a draft Pointer Events Working Group charter: https://w3c.github.io/charter-drafts/2025/pointer-events-wg.html The mission of the Pointer Events Working Group is to provide methods to enable simple device-independent input from pointing devices such as mouse, pen, and multi-touch screen. The proposed scope now includes exploration of how basic high-level gestures, such as "swipe left" or "two-finger tap", could be exposed to web content authors. See also: https://github.com/w3c/charter-drafts/pull/715 We encourage early discussion of this draft charter in this public forum: https://github.com/w3c/charter-drafts/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20in:title%20pointer-events W3C Members may discuss on the member-confidential mailing list <w3c-ac-forum@w3.org>. Section 4.2 of the Process Document [1] 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 2025-12-04. If you should have any questions or need further information, please feel free to contact the Chartering Facilitator, Philippe Le Hegaret <plh@w3.org>. The current charter [2] is hereby extended until 7 May 2026 to cover the time needed for the rechartering process. More information about the group can be found on its home page [3], including information about group Chair, Staff Contact, and instructions for joining the group. This announcement follows sections 4.1 and 4.6 of the Process Document: https://www.w3.org/policies/process/20250818/#charter-initiation https://www.w3.org/policies/process/20250818/#charter-extension Thank you, For Philippe le Hégaret, VP, Technical Strategy; Xueyuan Jia, Manager, Member Communications [1] https://www.w3.org/policies/process/20250818/#charter-development [2] https://www.w3.org/2023/11/wg-pointer-events-charter.html [3] https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/pointer-events/
