FW: Call for participation: 12 Working Groups switching to Patent Policy 2020

Folks,

This is just a friendly reminder that following our WG decision to switch to the new 2020 W3C Patent Policy we need to formally rejoin the WG to accept the new policy in effect. This is just a formality, and unless you are an Advisory Committee representative, _you_ don’t really need to do anything other than send a reminder to your AC Rep. to click the link below and then rejoin the WG.

Thank you,
Vlad

The only change to the charters was to adopt the W3C Patent Policy,
version of 15 September 2020.

Because the groups are now rechartered under the Patent Policy 2020,
current participants will need to rejoin the groups.

Please use the following forms to rejoin the groups. The forms will also
instruct you how to nominate participants:
