XSLT and XML Query Working Groups now closed

Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
Chairs,
XSLT Working Group members,
XML Query Working Group members,

The XSLT Working Group [1] and the XML Query Working Group [2] are now 
closed.

The mission of the XSLT Working Group was to define and maintain a 
practical transformation language capable of supporting the 
transformation and presentation of, and interaction with, structured 
information (e.g., XML documents) for use on servers and clients.

The mission of the XML Query Working Group was to provide flexible query 
facilities to extract data from XML and virtual documents, such as 
contents of databases or other persistent storage that are viewed as XML 
via a mapping mechanism, on the Web.

Over its recent charter period, the Groups published a set of 
Recommendation to update the XSLT, XML Query, XML Path, and related 
specifications [3].

Maintenance for these specifications will happen as part of a Community 
Group.

W3C thanks the group chairs, Sharon Adler (W3C Invited Expert), Andrew 
Coleman (IBM), and Jim Melton (Oracle) and all the participants in the 
groups for their efforts over the years.

If you have any further questions, please contact Carine Bournez 
<carine@w3.org>.

This announcement follows section 5.2.7 of the Process Document [4].

For Tim Berners-Lee, Director,
Philippe Le Hégaret, Project Management Lead; and
