New charter proposal, reviewers please take note.

Charter Review

Charter:

What kind of charter is this? Check the relevant box / remove irrelevant branches.

• Existing

• Existing WG recharter
• If this is a charter extension or revision, link a diff from previous charter, and any issue discussion:

Horizontal Reviews: apply the Github label "Horizontal review requested" to request reviews for accessibility (a11y), internationalization (i18n), privacy, and security. Also add a "card" for this issue to the Strategy Funnel.

Communities suggested for outreach:

None. This is a Group with a very narrow scope...

Known or potential areas of concern:

none.

Where would charter proponents like to see issues raised? (this strategy funnel issue, a different github repo, email, ...)

Anything else we should think about as we review?

nope

[plehegar]

@patrickhlauke , got any update for the CR and PR milestones for PE3?

[plehegar]

Given that this is an existing straightforward Working Group, I'm requesting the advance notice.

[patrickhlauke]

@plehegar we're aiming to sort out the last few blockers, with current goal of being ready to go to CR around TPAC 2023 time if that's at all feasible

[plehegar]

So Q3 2023 for CR. Does that mean Q4 2023 for PR (ie will we have the implementations?)?

[patrickhlauke]

@plehegar hoping so, yes (i think we're not too far off with implementations, though need to have a closer look at all the WPTs we're currently updating/creating)

[ruoxiran]

APA has no objections to the charter

[himorin]

No comment nor request from i18n

[plehegar]

No issue from PING.

Time to start AC review

The charter says expected completion of the Pointer Events (Level 3) is Q4 2023, but it's still a WD now (Oct 2023).

Shall we update the timeline of this spec?

[plehegar]

@patrickhlauke , how would you like me to update the timeline?

[himorin]

Quite minor point, but the latest charter extension is not recorded in the charter history table.

[svgeesus]

Charter says: Exclusion Draft: Pointer Events (Level 3), 12 December 2020

But the link is to W3C First Public Working Draft 12 December 2019. History

[svgeesus]

I agree that Expected completion: Q4 2023 is impossible.

[patrickhlauke]

With apologies, I dropped the ball on this after TPAC (having been sucked into work and then travel/conferences). I still need to sort out the request for wide reviews w3c/pointerevents#482 and we're still working on the last few WPTs. What's a realistic timescale (assuming I pull my finger out and action w3c/pointerevents#482 this week)?

[plehegar]

Wide review will take 2 months, starting November 1. We should be in CR in January.

I'll update the charter.
