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

W3C is pleased to announce the recharter of the Publishing Maintenance 
Working Group.
https://www.w3.org/2025/02/pmwg-charter.html

The group is chartered through February 5, 2027.

The mission of the Publishing Maintenance Working Group is to maintain 
the Recommendations developed by the Audiobooks and the EPUB Working 
Groups, and work on new features and ideas to incrementally improve 
these Recommendations, provide stable satellite specifications in the 
form of Working Group Notes, or provide the base for building the next 
major revisions of the publishing specifications.

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

If your organization is currently in the group, please note that you 
will need to have it re-join the group as the new charter adds a new 
deliverable with licensing obligations under the W3C Patent Policy. This 
Call for Participation triggers the start of the 45 days grace period. See:
https://www.w3.org/2020/09/15-pp-faq.html#recharter

The group chairs are Wendy Reid, Rakuten Kobo, and Shinya Takami (高見真也), 
Kadokawa. The Team Contact is Ivan Herman, <ivan@w3.org>, for a total of 
0.2 FTE.

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