Dear Advisory Committee Representatives,
Chairs,
Members of the Web Security Interest Group,

We are pleased to announce the re-chartering of the the Web Security 
Interest Group:

   https://www.w3.org/2011/07/security-ig-charter.html

This group is chartered through 1 January 2019.

The Group intends to focus its work on three categories of effort:
* Incubation: Discussing ideas for new Recommendation-track work; 
dispatching promising ideas to a Community Group or Task Force; 
proposing drafts to W3C for Working Group chartering.
* Horizontal Reviews: Assessing W3C drafts for security considerations 
and/or publishing questionnaires or other guidance to enable self-review 
by working groups.
* Web Security Incident Review: Considering reported security incidents 
as input, e.g., to correct patterns of error, threat modeling, and new 
spec development.

To join the group, please subscribe to the mailing list 
public-web-security@w3.org (Archive: 
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-web-security/).

(Participants of the Interest Group under the previous charter remain 
automatically members of the group, there is no need for them to be 
re-appointed.)

The Interest Group co-Chairs are Virginie Galindo (Gemalto), Kepeng Li 
(Alibaba) and Ryan Ware (Intel). The Team Contacts are Samuel Weiler 
<weiler@w3.org> and Wendy Seltzer <wseltzer@w3.org>, for a total of 0.1 FTE.
