Updating the Personalization TF Work Statement

Colleagues:

On this past Monday's Personalization teleconference the question arose
concerning the correct name of our Task Force. For a Task Force in a W3C
Working Group, this question, among many others, is defined by the Task
Force's Work Statement. The Personalization TF Work Statement appears
unupdated since 2018, when the work was migrated from the ARIA-WG to
APA:

https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/task-forces/personalization/work-statement


The correct name is:

Personalization Task Force

The above Work Statement needs an immediate update, please, to replace
one of the two Co-Facilitators. Lisa stepped down, and we appointed
Lionel Wolberger to that post. The above document does not yet reflect
this fact.

I would further note that the Work Statement suggests a single normative
specification, which it calls "Personalization Semantics." Clearly, we
have changed our approach since the above document was last updated. We
may wish to bring our Work Statement up to date in this regard as well,
though I don't believe there's any hurry for doing so.

Note also that the "specification" referenced by the Work Statement now
points to our Explainer. This is good, actually, even if it's no longer
strictly accurate. In other words we prefer the hyperlink to an actively
maintained document over a 404 error!

Best,

Janina
