<h2>Motivation and Background</h2>
<p>
In the past few years, the Social Web Community Group acted as a
maintainer for Social Web related specifications published by W3C.
This Working Group would maintain specifically the ActivityPub related
Recommendations and Notes.
</p>
</div>
<section id="scope" class="scope">
<h2>Scope</h2>
<p>
The Working Group will maintain the
<a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/">ActivityPub</a> protocol,
as well as the
<a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/">Activity Streams</a>
and <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/">Activity
Vocabulary</a> data models on which it depends, as well as related Notes.
<section id="section-out-of-scope">
<h3 id="out-of-scope">Out of Scope</h3>
<p>
Changes that add new functionality
(<a href="https://www.w3.org/policies/process/#class-4">class 4</a>)
are out of scope.

<h3>
Tentative Deliverables
</h3>
<p>Depending on the incubation progress, interest from multiple
implementers, and the consensus of the Group participants, the
Working Group may adopt the following documents as Rec-track
specifications:</p>
<dl>
<dt id="web-incubated-foo" class="spec">
<a href="#">Web <i class="todo">[spec name]</i></a></dt>

</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</section>
</section>
<section id="success-criteria">
<h2>Success Criteria</h2>
<p>
In order to update the Recommendation, each substantive change is expected
to have <a href="https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Process/#implementation-experience">at
least two independent implementations</a> of every feature defined in the
specification, where interoperability can be verified by passing open test
suites, and two or more implementations interoperating with each other.
</p>
<p>
Each substantive change should contain a section detailing all known
security and privacy implications for implementers, authors, and end users.
</p>
<p>
To promote interoperability, all changes made to specifications should have
<a href="https://www.w3.org/2019/02/testing-policy.html">tests</a>.
</p>
<p>
This Working Group expects to follow the TAG
<a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/design-principles/">Web Platform Design Principles</a>.
</p>
</section>
<section id="coordination">
<h2>Coordination</h2>
<p>For all specifications, this Working Group will seek
<a href="https://www.w3.org/Guide/documentreview/#how_to_get_horizontal_review">horizontal
review</a> for accessibility, internationalization, privacy, and
security with the relevant Working and Interest Groups, and with the
<a href="https://www.w3.org/groups/other/tag/" title="Technical Architecture Group">TAG</a>.
Invitation for review must be issued during each major standards-track
document transition, including
<a href="https://www.w3.org/policies/process/#RecsWD" title="First Public Working Draft">FPWD</a>.
The Working Group is encouraged to engage collaboratively with the
horizontal review groups throughout development of each specification.
The Working Group is advised to seek a review at least 3 months before
first entering
<a href="https://www.w3.org/policies/process/#RecsCR" title="Candidate Recommendation">CR</a>
and is encouraged to proactively notify the horizontal review groups
when major changes occur in a specification following a review.
</p>
<p>
This group is expected to coordinate with the
<a href="https://www.w3.org/groups/cg/socialcg/">Social Web Incubator
Community Group</a> on consensus-based proposals related to content
changes for the ActivityPub 1.1 Working Group Deliverables.
The Chairs of this group should reject proposals that are incompatible
with this Charter.

Participation
</h2>
<p>
To be successful, this Working Group is expected to have 6 or more active
participants for its duration, including representatives from the key
implementors of this specification, and active Editors and Test Leads
for each specification. The Chairs, specification Editors, and Test
Leads are expected to contribute half of a working day per week towards
the Working Group. There is no minimum requirement for other Participants.
</p>
<p>
The group encourages questions, comments and issues on its public
mailing lists and document repositories, as described in
<a href='#communication'>Communication</a>.
</p>
<p>
The group also welcomes non-Members to contribute technical submissions
for consideration upon their agreement to the terms of the
<a href="https://www.w3.org/policies/patent-policy/">W3C Patent Policy</a>.
</p>
<p>Participants in the group are required (by the
<a href="https://www.w3.org/policies/process/#ParticipationCriteria">W3C Process</a>)
to follow the W3C <a href="https://www.w3.org/policies/code-of-conduct/">Code of Conduct</a>.
</p>

<section id="communication">
<h2>
Communication
</h2>
<p id="public">
Technical discussions for this Working Group are conducted in
<a href="https://www.w3.org/policies/process/#confidentiality-levels">public</a>:
the meeting minutes from teleconference and face-to-face meetings will
be archived for public review, and technical discussions and issue
tracking will be conducted in a manner that can be both read and
written to by the general public. Working Drafts and Editor's Drafts
of specifications will be developed in public repositories and may
permit direct public contribution requests.
The meetings themselves are not open to public participation, however.
</p>
<p>
Information about the group (including details about deliverables,
issues, actions, status, participants, and meetings)
will be available from the <a href="">ActivityPub 1.1 Working
Group home page.</a>
</p>
<p>
Most ActivityPub 1.1 Working Group teleconferences will focus
on discussion of particular specifications, and will be conducted on
an as-needed basis.
</p>
<p>
This group primarily conducts its technical work <i class="todo">pick
one, or both, as appropriate:</i> on the public mailing list
<a class="todo" id="public-name" href="mailto:public-[email-list]@w3.org">public-<i class="todo">[email-list]</i>@w3.org</a>
(<a class="todo" href="https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-[email-list]/">archive</a>)
<i class="todo">or</i> on <a class="todo" id="public-github" href="[link to Github repo]">GitHub issues</a>.
The public is invited to review, discuss and contribute to this work.
</p>
<p>
The group may use a Member-confidential mailing list for administrative
purposes and, at the discretion of the Chairs and members of the group,
for member-only discussions in special cases when a participant requests
such a discussion.
</p>
</section>
<section id="decisions">
<h2>
Decision Policy
</h2>
<p>
This group will seek to make decisions through consensus and due process,
per the
<a href="https://www.w3.org/policies/process/#Consensus">W3C Process
Document (section 5.2.1, Consensus)</a>.
Typically, an editor or other participant makes an initial proposal,
which is then refined in discussion with members of the group and other
reviewers, and consensus emerges with little formal voting being required.
</p>
<p>
However, if a decision is necessary for timely progress and consensus
is not achieved after careful consideration of the range of views
presented, the Chairs may call for a group vote and record a decision
along with any objections.
</p>
<p>
To afford asynchronous decisions and organizational deliberation, any
resolution (including publication decisions) taken in a face-to-face
meeting or teleconference will be considered provisional.
A call for consensus (CfC) will be issued for all resolutions (for
example, via email, GitHub issue or web-based survey), with a response
period from <span id='cfc'><i>10 working days</i></span>, depending on
the chair's evaluation of the group consensus on the issue.
If no objections are raised by the end of the response period, the
resolution will be considered to have consensus as a resolution of the
Working Group.
</p>
<p>
All decisions made by the group should be considered resolved unless
and until new information becomes available or unless reopened at the
discretion of the Chairs.
</p>
<p>
This charter is written in accordance with the
<a href="https://www.w3.org/policies/process/#Votes">W3C Process
Document (Section 5.2.3, Deciding by Vote)</a> and includes no
voting procedures beyond what the Process Document requires.
