Dear Advisory Committee Representative,

The Director is pleased to announce the approval of the Web Annotation
Working Group charter:

This group is chartered until 1 October 2016.

The mission of the Web Annotation Working Group, part of the Digital
Publishing Activity, is to define a generic data model for
Annotations, and define the basic infrastructural elements to make it
deployable in browsers and reading systems through suitable user
interfaces.

Use this form to join the group; the form will also instruct you how
to nominate participants:

The Working Group chairs are Rob Sanderson (Stanford University) and
Frederick Hirsch (Nokia). The Team contacts are Doug Schepers and Ivan
Herman for a total of 0.20 FTE.

More information on the Web Annotation Working Group can be found on
its homepage:
