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

The Accessibility Guidelines Working Group charter [1] is hereby 
extended until 2026-04-30.

The goal of this extension is to allow the group to discuss the new 
charter at TPAC and to provide sufficient time for a final draft 
publication of WCAG 3 before the charter renewal. A draft charter [2] is 
currently under development, and comments on the draft charter can be 
raised on GitHub [3].

The mission of the Accessibility Guidelines Working Group is to develop 
specifications to support making implementations of web technologies 
accessible for people with disabilities, and to develop and maintain 
implementation support materials.

More information about the group can be found on its summary page [4], 
including information about group Chairs, Staff Contact and instructions 
for joining the group.

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact 
Kevin White <kevin@w3.org>, Staff Contact for the Accessibility 
Guidelines Working Group.

This extension follows section 4.6 of the W3C Process Document:

Thank you,

For Philippe le Hegaret, VP, Technical Strategy,
Kevin White, Accessibility Guidelines Working Group Staff Contact;
