Hello everyone, I hope you're having a good weekend :) After the previous group meetings and the comments we received regarding the draft charter, updated it to tackle the main issues. To sum up: 1. We created a separate glossary (you can find it on the github <https://github.com/w3c-cg/webforensics/blob/main/Glossary.md>). The glossary is a draft, it will change and adapt overtime as we introduce new concepts and correct existing definitions. With the creation of the glossary we do not mean to correctly define the whole domain of web forensics, which is quite a hard task to do. Rather define the broad boundaries of web forensics, and the concepts that we need in the reports and various deliverables. This will serve as a guide to understanding the group's works. 2. In the charter, we corrected and punctualized the scope of the group's work. We are not going to work on mechanisms to ensure that only legitimate, lawfully authorized parties collect and access web evidence. The group's activity will center around forensics operations, and not with the legal requirements to initiate said operations. National and international law concerns the group's work insofar to make web evidence acceptable in a court of law. 3. We added some other clarifications to the charter text. You can check all the changes on the github <https://github.com/w3c-cg/webforensics/commits/main/webforensics-cg.html> You're more than welcome to give further feedback :) If there are no further issues we will push the final version of the charter in 7 to 10 days. Last thing, the next group meeting (August 19th) is off. Have a good vacation and see you on Sept 2nd :) Gianluca
