Advisory Committee Review of a Charter</h3>
Charter Review and Approval</h3>

The [=Team=] <em class="rfc2119">must</em> solicit <a href="#ACReview">Advisory Committee review</a>
of every new or substantively modified Working Group or Interest Group charter,
except for either:
* a charter extension
* substantive changes to a charter that do not affect the way the group functions in any significant way.
<h4 id="charter-major-changes">
New Charters and Major Changes</h4>

The review period <em class="rfc2119">must</em> be at least 28 days.
The following are examples of substantive changes that would not require an [=Advisory Committee Review=]:
the addition of an in-scope deliverable,
a change of [=Team Contact=],
or a change of [=Chair=].
Such changes must nonetheless be announced
to the [=Advisory Committee=]
and to <a href="#wgparticipant"> participants in the Working</a> or <a href="#igparticipant">in the Interest Group</a>,
and a rationale must be provided.
Any new [=charter=] (including re-chartering of existing [=chartered groups=])
and most substantive changes to an already-approved [=charter=]
of a [=Working Group=] or [=Interest Group=]
<em class=rfc2119>must</em> be approved by a [=W3C Decision=] following an [=AC Review=] of that [=charter=].
(See [[#charter-minor-changes]] for minor changes that can be approved by a [=Team Decision=].)

The review period <em class=rfc2119>must</em> be at least 28 days.
Any [=Advisory Committee representative=] <em class=rfc2119>may</em> request an extended review period
in response to the Call for Review;
upon receipt of any such request,
the [=Team=] <em class=rfc2119>must</em> extend the review period
to at least 60 days.

The Call for Review of a substantively modified charter
<em class="rfc2119">must</em> highlight important changes
<em class=rfc2119>must</em> highlight important changes
(e.g., regarding deliverables or resource allocation)
and include rationale for the changes.

As part of the Advisory Committee review of any new or substantively modified Working Group charter,
any Advisory Committee representative <em class="rfc2119">may</em> request an extended review period.
<h4 id="charter-minor-changes">
Minor Changes to Active Charters</h4>

Such a request must be submitted with a Member's comments
in response to the Call for Review.
Upon receipt of any such request,
the [=Team=] <em class="rfc2119">must</em> ensure
that the Call for Participation for the Working Group
occurs at least 60 days
after the Call for Review of the charter.
Substantive changes to a [=charter=] (including [[#charter-extension|extensions]])
that do not affect the way the group functions in any significant way
<em class=rfc2119>may</em> be approved by a [=Team Decision=]
and would not require an [=Advisory Committee Review=].
The following are examples of such changes:
the addition of an in-scope deliverable,
a change of [=Team Contact=],
or a change of [=Chair=].

Though [=Advisory Committee Review=] is not required,
such changes <em class=rfc2119>must</em> still be announced
to the [=Advisory Committee=],
and to participants in the <a href="#wgparticipant">Working</a> or <a href="#igparticipant">Interest</a> Group,
and a rationale must be provided.
