Dear Web Payments Working Group Participants, This is a Call for Consensus to request that the Director propose a revised Web Payments Working Group Charter to the W3C Membership.

For example, if you support the proposal, respond to this list with "1. Support the proposal." For the co-Chairs, Ian Jacobs ---------------------- BACKGROUND AND CHANGES The 2023 version of the Web Payments Working Group charter expires at the end of July 2025: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.w3.org_Payments_WG_charter-2D2023.html&d=DwIFaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=6SjfBR3WbnoOeTLwqCP4azhvGus8hZxuqdxv1wAuB4ifwS4r5WmePbWRbBn-TEjO&m=XbMJFrz_TDN3IPDUwkROqT-WH_5m4Wuim64MHIlNQNTLdHRwfT_MVTkLYQEqyWSG&s=daEY9FdH0Nw1FhxnnNoFdUl-jq60hM4EU9m1ruoEhnw&e= <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.w3.org_Payments_WG_charter-2D2023.html&d=DwIFaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=6SjfBR3WbnoOeTLwqCP4azhvGus8hZxuqdxv1wAuB4ifwS4r5WmePbWRbBn-TEjO&m=XbMJFrz_TDN3IPDUwkROqT-WH_5m4Wuim64MHIlNQNTLdHRwfT_MVTkLYQEqyWSG&s=daEY9FdH0Nw1FhxnnNoFdUl-jq60hM4EU9m1ruoEhnw&e=> In the proposed 2025 version of the charter, the primary changes are (by section): 1. Motivation and Background: This section has been expanded to talk more about wallets and strong authentication. 2. Scope: The scope section has been expanded to make work on digital wallets and identity more explicit. The 2023 item about “instrument selection" has been dropped. 3. Deliverables: There is a new section (3.2) on Tentative Deliverables, which includes: * Facilitated Payment link type in HTML API * A placeholder for work on a payments profile within the digital credentials ecosystem in the case the community requests that this group standardize such a profile. 5. Coordination: The list of W3C groups now includes the Federated Identity Working Group (related to the Digital Credentials API). The charter drops coordination with the Web Application Security Working Group (which never took place in practice). The list of external organizations drops Open Banking, STET, and Berlin Group (even though we anticipate having occasional conversations with them). The charter adds to this section the WHAT WG (for discussions related to the Facilitated Payment link type in HTML API) and the OpenID Foundation (for discussions related to digital credentials, identity, and payments). -------- PROPOSAL That the Web Payments Working Group request that the Director propose a revision to its Charter to the W3C Membership. Please indicate one of the following in your response: 1. Support the proposal. 2. Request some changes, but support the proposal even if suggested changes are not taken into account. 3. Request some changes, and do not support the proposal unless the changes are taken into account. 4. Do not support the proposal (please provide rationale). 5. Support the consensus of the Web Payments Working Group. 6. Abstain. ----------------- FORMAL OBJECTIONS * If you wish your LACK of support to publish to be conveyed to the Director and reviewed, please include the phrase "FORMAL OBJECTION” in your response and be sure to include substantive arguments or rationale. * The W3C Director takes Formal Objections seriously, and therefore they typically require significant time and effort to address. * Silence will be taken to mean there is no Formal Objection. * If there are Formal Objections, the Chairs plan to contact the individual(s) who made them to see whether there are changes that would address the concern and increase consensus to publish.
