Members, Invited Experts, and Team *must* rejoin Working Group

The new charter for the Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (AG WG) 
is now in effect. Because the charter adds deliverables related to the 
W3C Patent Policy, *all* participants must rejoin the group to continue 
participating, in order to confirm their acceptance of the new patent 
requirements. There is a 45-day grace period starting today. After that, 
if you have not rejoined, the system will automatically remove you from 
the group. There's nothing I can do about that, so please be sure you 
rejoin before
3 February 2020.

You can check if you or your organization has rejoined via:

https://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/35422/status

== Member representatives ==

If you represent a Member organization, your Advisory Committee 
representative must rejoin the group. When they do, all representatives 
of that organization are automatically rejoined. You can find your AC 
representative via:

https://www.w3.org/Member/ACList (Member-only link)

Please ask that person to use 
https://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/35422/join to rejoin, and refer them to
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-ac-members/2019OctDec/0067.html 
for context.

Some organizations require internal review before rejoining, that in 
some cases could take weeks. *Please initiate the process right away* to 
give your organization time to complete its due diligence within the 
grace period.

== Invited Experts and Team ==

Invited Experts and Team can rejoin themselves. Simply complete the form 
at https://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/35422/join.

Let me know off list if you have questions or need additional pointers.
