> 
> To accommodate this review, the current charter is extended by 3 months, thus ending 30 September 2019.
> 
> 
> PING has several exciting things in progress, and this would be an excellent time for you and/or others from your organization to become involved. In particular:
> 
> -- PING is doing earlier reviews of specifications, offering
>  privacy input prior to implementation, not just when
>  already-implemented features come through working groups for
>  standardization.
> 
> -- PING recently updated W3C's Security and Privacy Self-Review
>  Questionnaire and published a new document on mitigating
>  fingerprinting.
> 
> -- PING is exploring ways of decreasing fingerprinting surface in
>  existing APIs.  Their first target is font enumeration.
> 
> -- PING is experimenting with new collaboration technology, including
>  Slack.
> 
> These efforts, particularly the push for better and earlier privacy review of specs, require many hands, and we encourage you to recruit privacy-aware people from your organization and ask them to join PING.
> 
> 
> The team FTE commitment has increased from the previous charter, consistent with the level of support that has been required for PING's higher level of activity.
> 
> If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Samuel Weiler <weiler@w3.org>, Team contact.
> 
> 
> The co-chair appointment follows section 5.1 of the W3C Process Document:
>  https://www.w3.org/2019/Process-20190301/#ReqsAllGroups

> This charter review follows section 5 of the W3C Process Document:
