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

W3C is pleased to announce the re-charter of the Web Payments Working Group.
https://www.w3.org/Payments/WG/charter-2023.html

The group is chartered through 31 July 2025.

The mission of the Web Payments Working Group is to make consumer retail 
payments easier and more secure on the Web.

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/payments/join

Current participants do not need to rejoin the group because there are 
no new deliverables and the group's scope is effectively reduced as a 
result of the change to the charter.

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 Working Group chairs are Gerhard Oosthuizen (Entersekt), Praveena 
Subrahmanyam (Airbnb), and Nick Telford-Reed (Invited Expert). The Team 
Contact is Ian Jacobs for a total of 0.4 FTE.

More information about the group can be found on the group home page:
https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/payments/

The rechartering announcement follows section 5.7.2 of the W3C Process 
Document:

The Call for Participation follows section 4.4 of the W3C Process Document:
https://www.w3.org/2023/Process-20230612/#cfp

Thank you,

For Philippe le Hégaret, W3C Strategy and Project Lead,
Ian Jacobs, Web Payments Working Group Team Contact;
