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

W3C is pleased to announce the recharter of the Web Applications Working 
Group.
https://www.w3.org/2026/01/webappswg-charter-2026.html

The group is chartered through 31 January 2028.

The mission of the Web Applications Working Group (WebApps WG) is to 
produce specifications that facilitate the development of client-side 
web applications.

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/webapps/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 will remain in this group and are not required to 
re-join.

The group co-chairs are Léonie Watson (TetraLogical), Marcos Cáceres 
(Apple), Diego González (Microsoft), and Marijn Kruisselbrink (Google). 
The Staff Contacts are Xiaoqian Wu (0.25 FTE), Michael[tm] Smith (0.1 
FTE) for a total of 0.35 FTE.
