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

The Math Working Group charter[1] is hereby extended until 13 April 2026.

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 has made progress on its deliverables and there is even 
software that implements them so far (both MathML Core in browsers and 
MathML 4 in other programs). However, progress has proved to be more 
challenging than anticipated, primarily due to the technical 
complexities involved in making MathML more accessible, and limited 
allocation of resources.

This extension allows the group to work on a new charter while 
maintaining progress on current deliverables.

More information about the Math Working Group can be found on its 
summary page[2], including information about group Chairs, Staff Contact 
and instructions for joining the group.

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact 
Bert Bos <bert@w3.org>, Staff Contact for the Math Working Group.

This extension follows section 4.6 of the W3C Process Document:

Thank you,

For Philippe le Hegaret, VP, Technical Strategy,
Bert Bos, Staff Contact for the Math Working Group;
Xueyuan Jia, Manager, Member Communications
