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

W3C is pleased to announce the re-charter of the Accessibility 
Guidelines Working Group.
https://www.w3.org/2023/11/ag-charter

The group is chartered through 31 October 2025.

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.

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/ag/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 a new 
deliverable 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 co-Chairs are Chuck Adams (Oracle), Alastair Campbell 
(Nomensa), Rachael Montgomery (Library of Congress).

The primary Team Contact is Kevin White <kevin@w3.org> for a total of 
0.5 FTE. Support across task forces and standards harmonization is also 
provided by Shawn Lawton Henry (0.05 FTE), Roy Ran (0.15 FTE) and Daniel 
Montalvo (0.2 FTE).

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