Hello,

Today W3C Advisory Committee Representatives received a Proposal
to review a draft charter for the Verifiable Credentials Working Group:
https://www.w3.org/2026/02/proposed-vc-wg-charter.html

As part of ensuring that the community is aware of proposed work
at W3C, this draft charter is public during the Advisory
Committee review period.

W3C invites public comments through 23:59 UTC on 27 February 2026 [0] on the
proposed charter. Please send comments (use the group name as subject 
line) to
public-review-comments@w3.org, which has a public archive:
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-review-comments/

Other than comments sent in formal responses by W3C Advisory
Committee Representatives, W3C cannot guarantee a response to
comments. If you work for a W3C Member [1], please coordinate
your comments with your Advisory Committee Representative. For
example, you may wish to make public comments via 
public-review-comments@w3.org  and
have your Advisory Committee Representative refer to it in their formal 
review.

If you should have any questions or need further information, please
contact Ivan Herman, Staff Contact for the Verifiable Credentials 
Working Group,
at <ivan@w3.org>.

Thank you,
Xueyuan Jia, Manager, Member Communications
