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

W3C is pleased to announce the re-charter of the Internationalization 
Working Group and the Internationalization Interest Group:

https://www.w3.org/International/groups/wg/charter.html
https://www.w3.org/International/groups/ig/charter.html

The groups are chartered through 16 October 2027.

The W3C Internationalization (i18n) Activity works with W3C working 
groups and liaises with other organizations to make it possible to use 
Web technologies with different languages, scripts, and cultures.

Please use the following form to have your organization join the Working 
Group. The form will also instruct you how to nominate participants:
https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/i18n-core/join/

Individuals can join the Interest Group by subscribing to the mailing 
list at:
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-international/

There is no impact on existing participants in the Working Group and the 
Interest Group.

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.

The Working Group chair is Addison Phillips (W3C Invited Expert). The 
Interest Group chair is Martin Dürst (W3C Invited Expert).

The Team Contacts for the Working Group are Fuqiao Xue <xfq@w3.org>, 
Richard Ishida <ishida@w3.org>, Atsushi Shimono <atsushi@w3.org> and 
Bert Bos <bert@w3.org>, for a total of 1.7 FTE. The Team Contacts for 
the Interest Group are Richard Ishida and Fuqiao Xue for 0.05 FTE.

More information about the groups can be found on the group home pages:
https://w3.org/International/i18n-activity/i18n-wg/
