Hi everyone,
Reminder that the monthly Social Web CG call is happening in a couple days, this coming Friday Oct 4th at 1pm ET / 10am PT / 7pm CET (see calendar entry at 4 October 2024 | SocialWeb CG Call | Calendar | W3C )
The main topics on the agenda are - charter and governance proposals!
We’ve got several crucial proposals to discuss and evaluate, as a community.
- CG Charter
We need a charter and governance document for this group here, the Social Web CG!
(As mentioned in the “Restarting the Community Group Charter discussion” thread at Restarting the Community Group Charter discussion from Dmitri Zagidulin on 2024-09-27 (public-swicg@w3.org from September 2024), initial charter proposal PR at add strawman cg charter from https://github.com/w3c/cg-charter by gobengo · Pull Request #1 · swicg/potential-charters · GitHub )
- CG Work Item Staging Process
Similarly, we have the opportunity to join several of the leading W3C groups in adopting a work item staging process (explicitly stating how something goes from a proposal to something like a FEP to a possible CG or Working Group item), based on the FedID CG/WG process (which itself was based on WHATWG and Ecmascript’s TC-39 process for JS language proposals).

As always, the CG recognizes that not everyone is able to attend the monthly calls, and any discussion of such important topics as group charter will continue asynchronously on the mailing list, SocialHub, and on GitHub. We want to make sure everyone has a say in this process.
If there’s time after the CG Charter and Work Item Process discussions, we can also continue the conversation about potential future Working Group charters
(see for example candidate proposals Initial ActivityPub Maint WG charter template. by dmitrizagidulin · Pull Request #2 · swicg/potential-charters · GitHub and Initial Social Web Maint WG charter template. by dmitrizagidulin · Pull Request #3 · swicg/potential-charters · GitHub, as well as the Charter Discussions on the wiki at SocialCG/WG Charter Discussion - W3C Wiki )
The ask: please read through the proposed charter PRs, and come with questions and change suggestions.
Thanks,
The Chairs
