> Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
> [This announcement will be forwarded to W3C group chairs]
> 
> This is an advance notice that the Team is currently working on a revised charter for the Verifiable Credentials Working Group:
>   https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues/455
> 
> The draft charter is available at:
>   https://w3c.github.io/vc-wg-charter/
> 
> The current charter of the Working Group expires in June 2024. The group has published a number of Candidate Recommendations, and is currently busy finalizing the test suites and collecting implementation information. The revised charter has therefore two goals:
> 
> 1. Give time to the Working Group to finalize the Recommendation track documents. The goal is to publish them in January 2025.
> 2. Set up a maintenance course for the Recommendations as they are published.
> 
> Accordingly, the scope of the draft new charter is identical to the current charter, except for the following additional paragraph:
> 
>     "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 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."
> 
> We welcome input and feedback on the draft charter. If you wish to make your comments public, you're welcome to raise comments at:
>   https://github.com/w3c/vc-wg-charter
> 
> W3C Members may also discuss on the member-confidential mailing list <w3c-ac-forum@w3.org> [1]. We also welcome your general expressions of interest and support on that mailing list.
> 
> A formal Advisory Committee Review for this charter is expected in mid-May.
> 
> If you should have any questions or need further information, please feel free to contact Ivan Herman <ivan@w3.org>, Team Contact for the Verifiable Credentials Working Group.

> This announcement follows section 4.1 of the Process Document:
