+# WebAssembly (Wasm) Working Group Charter
+
+## Background
+
+WebAssembly, commonly known as Wasm, refers to a compact binary instruction format utilized by a stack-based virtual machine. Its primary purpose is to serve as a versatile compilation target for programming languages, enabling seamless deployment of applications for both client-side and server-side environments.
+
+In the context of cloud native, and with the presence of a Wasm runtime, the portability and versatility of Wasm allow users to run workloads in a diverse set of environments in both a centralized location and at the edge, including but not limited to VMs running a single docker daemon, Kubernetes cluster, and any other compatible workload orchestrator.
+
+## Mission Statement
+
+The Wasm working group focuses on topics of running Wasm workloads across the edge, Kubernetes, and other cloud-native projects. The primary mission is to enable Wasm to be a first-class alternative to running such workloads. The secondary mission is to ensure Wasm is integrated and evolved across all cloud-native projects. We do so by promoting the adoption and usage of WebAssembly by providing resources, best practices, and tools that enable end users to utilize its unique benefits.
+
+## Scope
+
+The working group is interested in all topics related to building Wasm artifacts, packaging and distribution, and developing solutions that embrace Wasm, including:
+
+- Developing and adjusting **infrastructure for Wasm deployments**. The cloud-native modifications to meet Wasm conditions. 
+- Development and configuration of **wasm-specific workloads**. How do we start working with Wasm? How do we write,  deploy, test and debug our workloads to Wasm environments? How do we empower Wasm to those specific ML/AI workloads with a wide variety of AI HW accelerators? 
+- Cloud-native **DevOps practices for Wasm** environments. How do we operate our workloads in Wasm deployment scenarios? Typical DevOps and Observability topics need to be adjusted to Wasm environments.
+- **Interoperability** with other deployment types. Wasm workloads should be able to run in a pod alongside containers seamlessly.
+- **Security** - Understanding, documenting, and educating folks on the security considerations of their WASM and WASI workloads and how to integrate WASM runtimes into their projects safely.
+- **Wasm artifacts** - guide and document container registry storage structures to provide a basis for compatibility for container runtimes.
+
+## Deliverables
+
+The working group will build collaboration, knowledge, and projects in the Wasm space, including:
+
+- **Publications, presentations, and whitepapers** on interesting topics - the group will stay ahead of the current technology trends and provide material on the latest innovative topics in the space.
+- **Example architectures and demos** - provides well-documented use cases using existing projects and demos that can be used as starting points for future projects.
+- **Standards, tests, and certifications** - the working group will investigate if it is possible to certify solutions in well-defined domains against known criteria.
+- **WebAssembly ecosystem proposals** - provide updates on the different open proposals and how they benefit the ecosystem. Collaborate and align with the community on the current and new proposals. 
+- **Metrics** - provides guidelines for project planning in terms of resource usage.
+- **Ecosystem updates** - provides updates on the landscape of cloud-native projects on the Wasm at conferences, in publications, and to the Runtime TAG.
+- **Vertical Use cases** - provide documentation or code implementation of cloud-native wasm use cases in certain vertical scenarios (network, database, AI, embedding a Wasm runtime, etc.)
