Start of refinement for a draft Web Performance Working Group charter

Hello,

With this charter review notice, the W3C Team initiates refinement for a 
draft Web Performance Working Group charter:
  https://w3c.github.io/charter-drafts/2026/webperf-wg-charter.html

The mission of the Web Performance Working Group is to provide methods 
to observe and improve aspects of application performance of user agent 
features and APIs.

We encourage early discussion of this draft charter in the Strategy issue:
  https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues/531

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 2026-04-15.

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

More information about the group can be found on its group page [2], 
including information about group Chairs, Staff Contact, and 
instructions for joining the group.
