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

W3C is pleased to announce the recharter of the Math Working Group:
https://www.w3.org/Math/Documents/Charter2023.html

The group is chartered through 13 October 2025.

The mission of the Math Working Group is to promote the inclusion of 
mathematics on the Web so that it is a first class citizen of the web 
that displays well and is accessible. The group will work on MathML 
version 4, a format that uses XML to encode mathematical formulas; and 
MathML Core, which specifies how to process MathML when it is part of 
HTML5. Both will pay special attention to improving accessibility.

Please use the following form to have your organization join or re-join 
the group. The form will also instruct you how to nominate participants:
https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/math/join

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.

If your organization is currently in the group, please note that you 
will need to have it re-join the group as the new charter adds new 
deliverables with licensing obligations under the W3C Patent Policy. 
This Call for Participation triggers the start of the 45 days grace 
period. See:
https://www.w3.org/2020/09/15-pp-faq.html#recharter

The group plans to meet mostly via teleconferences, but will probably 
meet face-to-face (or hybrid) at the next TPAC, in September 2024.

The group chairs are Neil Soiffer (Talking Cat Software) and Brian 
Kardell (Igalia).

The Team Contact is Bert Bos, <bert@w3.org>, for 0.1 FTE.

More information about the group can be found on the group home page:

This announcement follows section 5.7.2 of the W3C Process Document:
