Announce: W3C POE Working Group

Dear ODRL CG, I am pleased to announce that the W3C has approved the new “Permissions and Obligations Expression” (POE) Working Group.

The group is primarily charted to take the CG specs through the W3C Process to “Recommendation” status and may produce additional “Notes” related to best practice.

The WG archives will be open to all to read and we will cross-post any and all important milestones/requests to the CG.

It is important to note that this CG will continue (even after the WG completes it work) and will always act as the community for ODRL/POE.

Cheers – Renato
