Start of refinement for a draft Accessibility Guidelines Working Group charter

Hello,

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

The mission of the Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (AGWG) is to 
develop specifications to support making implementations of web 
technologies accessible for people with disabilities, and to develop and 
maintain implementation support materials.

We encourage early discussion of this draft charter in this public forum:
   https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues/508

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 2026-03-20.

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