A [=Working Group=] or [=Interest Group=] charter specifies a duration for the group.

In exceptional circumstances,
The [=Team=] <em class="rfc2119">may</em> propose through an [=AC Review=]
to close a group prior to the date specified in the charter.
This may occur for instance
when a [=Patent Advisory Group=] concluded that the work <em class="rfc2119">should</em> be terminated.
The [=Team=], the [=TAG=], or the [=AB=] <em class=rfc2119>may</em> propose to close a group
prior to the date specified in the charter in any of the following circumstances:

* There are insufficient member resources to produce chartered deliverables
or to maintain the group,
according to priorities established within W3C.
* A [=Patent Advisory Group=] concluded that the work
<em class=rfc2119>should</em> be terminated.
* The [=TAG=] or [=AB=] determined that continuing operation of the chartered group or its work
would be detrimental to W3C or its mission.
* The group produces chartered deliverables ahead of schedule.

Such a proposal to close a group must be accompanied by rationale,
and the proposal must be confirmed by an [=AC Review=] as a [=W3C Decision=].

Closing a Working Group has implications
with respect to the W3C Patent Policy [[!PATENT-POLICY]].
