Approved; Call for Participation

Dear Advisory Committee representative,
Chairs,

The Director is pleased to announce the recharter of the Scalable Vector 
Graphics (SVG) Working Group:
   https://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/svg-2019.html

The group is chartered until 31 March 2021.

As a primary focus in this charter period, the group will concentrate on 
the stabilization and interoperability testing of the core SVG 2 
specification. As part of that testing, features which are in the 
reference draft of SVG2 and which do not meet the stability and 
interoperability requirements for a Proposed Recommendation may be moved 
to separate specification modules, work on which would remain in scope, 
but at a lower priority.

As a secondary focus, the group may address modules for new graphical 
features for SVG, once there is broad consensus on adding each such 
feature to the Web Platform. The SVG Community Group (and also any other 
fora, such as WICG) will incubate new proposals. Once an incubated 
proposal is implemented and available (in nightly or testing builds) in 
at least one major browser, and has support from other SVG implementers, 
it may be adopted by the SVG Working Group. A requirements document will 
be used to collect together these features.

Use the following form to join or re-join the group. The form will also 
instruct you how to nominate participants:
   https://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/19480/join

This Call for Participation triggers the start of the 45 days grace 
period [1]. Existing participants of the Working Group under the 
previous charter are required to leave and then re-join the group
because this charter has a new deliverable in-scope.

The chair is Dirk Schulze, Adobe. The Team Contact is Chris Lilley (0.1FTE).

    https://www.w3.org/2019/Process-20190301/#ACReviewAfter

and the Call for Participation follows section 5.2.4 of the W3C Process
