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

The Director is pleased to announce the recharter of the Web of Things 
Working Group:
https://www.w3.org/2022/07/wot-wg-2022.html

The group is chartered through 31 January 2023. This is an extension of 
the previous charter [1] so that the group can finalize its deliverable 
documents.

The mission of the Web of Things Working Group is to counter the 
fragmentation of the IoT through the specification of building blocks 
that enable easy integration of IoT devices and services across IoT 
platforms and application domains. These building blocks should 
complement and enhance existing standards.

Additional detail is available in the charter's Scope section:
https://www.w3.org/2022/07/wot-wg-2022.html#scope

Use the following form to join or re-join the group. The form will also 
instruct you how to nominate participants:
https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/wot/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.

If your organization is currently in the group, please note that you 
will need to have it re-join the group as the new charter switches to 
use the W3C Patent Policy 2020 [2]. This Call for Participation triggers 
the start of the 45 days grace period [3] to re-join.

The Working Group chairs are Michael McCool (Intel) and Sebastian 
Kaebisch (Siemens). The Team Contacts are Kazuyuki Ashimura (0.2 FTE) 
and Dave Raggett (0.1 FTE).

More information about the Web of Things WG can be found on its homepage:
