Establish DPVCG Charter
The w3c provides a template for CG's to establish their charter - https://w3c.github.io/cg-charter/CGCharter.html The DPVCG was established much before and we underwent changes without such a charter. Going ahead, we should formalise and adopt the charter as a representation of the group's objectives and scopes.
Note: the charter is not intended to be for deciding whether we accept individual concepts but rather how we make broad decisions where a new or proposed work should be in scope of the group's intended objectives. In the past, the charter would have been useful when we made decisions regarding change in default serialiasation, extending scope from personal data to technologies and from data protection to privacy and other rights, and most recently for deciding on whether the extensions representing German GDNG law and ISO 42005 AI impact assessment are in scope.
The process for adopting the charter is fairly straightforward. We complete the template, AFAIK we have all the info needed already. We then discuss and amend as needed. We reach consensus, and then we publish it formally here in this repo.
(using dpvbot:) This was discussed in Meeting 2025-11-05 Discussed charter contents today and started work on the draft. To be discussed further in next week's meeting.
On "Contribution Mechanics" section, we may like to update our CONTRIBUTING file (or wiki at https://github.com/w3c/dpv/wiki/Contribution-Guide ) to make it up-to-date with current operation/file structure by the time we announce the Charter.
(using dpvbot:) This was discussed in Meeting 2025-11-12 Agreed on structure and contents of the draft. Harsh will circulate a refined draft on the mailing list.
(using dpvbot:) This was discussed in Meeting 2025-11-26 We will comment on the draft and then discuss it in the DEC-10 meeting. The draft document has been shared on the mailing list.
thanks @nuthub - I agree with all your comments and have implemented/addressed them.
