In the WG charter, the changelog can be updated to remove a past change about the chair.

The IG and WG charters are not aligned with the charter template. For example:

• the link and last two words for the Patent Disclosures deviate from the charter template. Please align with the charter template for those bits.
• We updated recently the links to the patent policy and process document in the charter template, please align.
• The Communication sections don't mention the W3C Process nor the Code of Conduct.

Please align those charters with the charter template.

You're asking for 3 years instead of the usual 2 years for the duration of the WG/IG. Is that intentional ? I won't object to it because those 2 Groups are core to our mission but we may get pushback from the AC.

Thanks, @plehegar. Please see comments below.

Done.

I have fixed the WG charter.

For the IG charter, it doesn't seem to have a licensing information page. https://www.w3.org/groups/ig/i18n/ipr/ is 404. Is it because the IG is essentially a mailing list?

• We updated recently the links to the patent policy and process document in the charter template, please align.

Updated.

• The Communication sections don't mention the W3C Process nor the Code of Conduct.

I compared the charter and the template, but didn't find see the W3C Process or the Code of Conduct mentioned. Am I missing something?

Please align those charters with the charter template.

I'm asking for 3 years, because the work of the i18n groups is relatively stable and the scope/deliverables generally does not change much. Also, the last charter period was also 3 years (2021-2024).

The Success Criteria section is missing from the IG charter.
