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

The Web of Things Working Group Charter [1] is hereby extended until 2 
April 2026.

The mission of the Web of Things Working Group is to counter the 
fragmentation of the Internet of Things (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 complement and enhance the use of existing standards; provide a 
common description across different ecosystems, standards, and 
communities; and provide prescriptive definitions where appropriate.

This extension will enable the group to publish several reports, 
including retiring the now obsolete Group Note for the Web of Things 
(WoT) Binding Templates, replacing it with the Web of Things Binding 
Registry, publishing the First Public Working Draft for the Web of 
Things (WoT) Thing Description 2.0, and issuing an updated Working Draft 
for the Web of Things (WoT) Profiles. The group is also continuing work 
on the preparation of a new charter proposal for AC review.

More information about the Web of Things Working Group can be found on 
its summary page[2], including information about group Chairs, Staff 
Contact and instructions for joining the group.

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact 
Dave Raggett <dsr@w3.org>, Staff Contact for the Web of Things Working 
Group.

This extension follows section 4.6 of the W3C Process Document:

Thank you,

For Philippe le Hegaret, VP, Technical Strategy,
Dave Raggett, Staff Contact for the Web of Things Working Group;
