Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
Cc Chairs for info,

The Director is pleased to announce the chartering of the Spatial Data 
on the Web Working Group:
    https://www.w3.org/2021/10/sdw-charter.html

The group is chartered through 4 October 2023.

The mission of the Spatial Data on the Web Working Group is to: (1) 
develop and maintain vocabularies and best practices that encourage 
better sharing of spatial data on the Web; (2) identify areas where 
standards should be developed jointly by both W3C and the Open 
Geospatial Consortium (OGC).

This Working Group will replace the Spatial Data on the Web Interest 
Group, which is expected to be closed soon.

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

The group chairs are Linda van den Brink (Geonovum) and Jeremy Tandy 
(Met Office). The Team Contact is Bert Bos, <bert@w3.org>, for a total 
of 0.1 FTE.

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