== [wg/vc] Verifiable Credentials WG recharter ==
New charter proposal, reviewers, please take note.

# Charter Review

[Charter:] https://w3c.github.io/vc-wg-charter/

[Diff from previous charter:] https://w3c.github.io/vc-wg-charter/diff.html

 - [X] Existing WG recharter 
 - If this is a charter extension or revision, any issue discussion:

The current charter ends in June '24. By then, all Rec track documents should be in CR (the main ones have been in CR for a while already), and the WG is confident to be able to publish the Recommendations in January '25. The original thought was to ask for a simple charter extension. However, the WG has already agreed to set up a maintenance WG once this WG runs out, hence the idea to create a new charter which is, mostly, the same as the current charter, but with the following addition to the scope:

> Once all the planned Recommendations have been published, the Working Group will continue in maintenance mode to handle errata. No new Recommendations are planned. [Class 4 changes](https://www.w3.org/2023/Process-20231103/#class-4) for Recommendations published by the Working Group are out of scope, except if serious security issues come to the fore that require changes in a Recommendation.

I.e., this proposed charter update would save us, and everybody else, an extra administration in 6 -7 months.

Although the [diff file](https://w3c.github.io/vc-wg-charter/diff.html) shows more changes, they are not substantial. The only other major difference is that the list of rec track deliverables has been updated to reflect the current status. All other changes are administrative, updating some links, etc.

I am not sure that we really need horizontal reviews on the charter. It had been reviewed before the AC vote, and nothing has changed; as emphasized above, there is no intention to do further specification work under this charter.
