Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
[This announcement will be forwarded to W3C group chairs]

W3C is pleased to announce the recharter of the Distributed Tracing 
Working Group.
https://www.w3.org/2025/08/distributed-tracing-wg.html

The group is chartered through 21 August 2027.

The mission of the Distributed Tracing Working Group is to define 
standards for interoperability between tracing tools.

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/distributed-tracing/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.

Current participants are not required to rejoin this group because the 
charter includes no new deliverables that require W3C Patent Policy 
licensing commitments.

The group chair is Sergey Kanzhelev (Google). The Staff Contact is 
Philippe Le Hégaret <plh@w3.org> for a total of 0.05 FTE.

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