----------
BACKGROUND

This proposed charter restores a paragraph of text previously in the charter. The following timeline helps to explain this change:

* December 2019: W3C enacts a charter [1] for the Web Payments WG that includes the following text:

"User interface specifics are out of scope; this Working Group is chartered to Recommend programming interfaces, not user interface specifics. However, it is in scope for the Working Group to discuss user experience, for example as part of understanding user journeys during a checkout experience."

* August 2021: W3C publishes the First Public Working Draft of Secure Payment Confirmation (SPC) [2].

* November 2022: W3C enacts an updated charter [3] for the Working Group that does not include the above text. It was removed from the charter to avoid confusion about the group's work on Secure Payment Confirmation, which describes functionality related to the user experience of confirming a transaction.

* March 2023: The Working Group receives a request [4] to restore the text to the charter.

Although the group's chartered end date is 31 December 2024, the proposal is to renew the charter now to facilitate participation in the group. In addition, this charter revision includes updated milestone expectations regarding the publication of the SPC Candidate Recommendation and eventual Recommendation; see the full diff [5].

PROPOSAL

That the Web Payments Working Group request that the Director propose a revision to its Charter to the W3C Membership.

Please indicate one of the following in your response:

1. Support the proposal.

2. Request some changes, but support the proposal even if suggested changes are not taken into account.

3. Request some changes, and do not support the proposal unless the changes are taken into account.

4. Do not support the proposal (please provide rationale).

5. Support the consensus of the Web Payments Working Group.

6. Abstain.

-----------------
FORMAL OBJECTIONS

* If you wish your LACK of support to publish to be conveyed to the Director and reviewed, please include the phrase "FORMAL OBJECTION"
in your response and be sure to include substantive arguments or rationale.

* The W3C Director takes Formal Objections seriously, and therefore they typically require significant time and effort to address.

* Silence will be taken to mean there is no Formal Objection.

* If there are Formal Objections, the Chairs plan to contact the
individual(s) who made them to see whether there are changes that would address the concern and increase consensus to publish.

For more information, see:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://clicktime.symantec.com/15uBhhpggGpmYnndtHLCF?h=3HCBj2mx_jP3wFEh45zhDaJjIX7YuTCw2BevVBa1-_U=&u=https:**Awww.w3.org*2021*Process-20211102**A23Consensus__;Ly8vLy8l!!MjXRb4uW6x5k!ETAjaKyMq8zQM1myEP2VADDKQHHkaPQc_jdw0LNtd1qd4SXLArdiM-J2WoqWTqcDb5djWN0ClBqxPUkYEERnxVBJ2vTGS07EAA$


----------
NEXT STEPS

* In the case where this Call for Consensus results in a decision that the proposal carries, the staff contact will request that the Director announce the charter to the Membership. If the Director agrees, the usual charter review process would begin:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://clicktime.symantec.com/15uBcsdQDf9B8qxiLiw3d?h=5ZKICAT_Jo7RNAkOFb2mcqs4HBMAHfCy7S_sUo_koUo=&u=https:**Awww.w3.org*2021*Process-20211102**A23CharterReview__;Ly8vLy8l!!MjXRb4uW6x5k!ETAjaKyMq8zQM1myEP2VADDKQHHkaPQc_jdw0LNtd1qd4SXLArdiM-J2WoqWTqcDb5djWN0ClBqxPUkYEERnxVBJ2vTcfllV6g$


* Review by the W3C Membership may result in Formal Objections to the charter. To mitigate this risk, in the announcement of the proposed charter, we will emphasize that there are no changes to deliverables in this charter, only restoration of previous charter text.

* While Member review of a proposed charter is ongoing, or in the case that the charter is not approved (or not approved in a timely fashion), the Payments Working Group can continue to operate under its current charter through 31 December 2024.
