Dear Advisory Committee representative,
[This announcement will be forwarded to W3C group chairs]

W3C is pleased to announce the charter of the Private Advertising 
Technology Working Group.
https://www.w3.org/2024/11/wg-pat-charter.html

The group is chartered through 30 November 2026.

The mission of the Private Advertising Technology Working Group, 
motivated by the W3C TAG Ethical Web Principles, is to specify web 
features and APIs that support advertising while acting in the interests 
of users, in particular providing strong privacy assurances using 
predominantly technical means.

Please use the following form to have your organization join the group. 
The form will also instruct you how to nominate participants:
https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/pat/join

Please consider diversity when proposing people to participate in W3C 
groups. Representation from a wider group of people, especially people 
from under-represented groups, is vital for creating web standards that 
meet the needs of the wider web community.

The group plans to have its first major virtual meeting later this month.

The group chairs are Aram Zucker-Scharff (Washington Post) and Sean 
Turner (Invited Expert). The Team Contact is Tara Whalen, <tara@w3.org>, 
for a total of 0.25 FTE.

More information about the group can be found on the group home page:
