The HST Ultraviolet Legacy Working Group is hereby formed with the following primary tasks:

• Define the overarching science case and a set of science goals for a comprehensive set of ultraviolet observations related to star formation and associated stellar physics that advance scientific discovery and provide lasting archival value.
• Solicit input from the astronomical community in defining the science goals.
• Recommend representative suites of observations necessary to accomplish the science goals of this initiative. Prioritize if possible.
• Identify opportunities for coordinated observations over the full wavelength regime with other ground-based and space-based observatories.
• Produce a short (10-15 page) white paper describing the results of the above tasks by the end of January 20, 2019.

The Working Group should take into account both the archival research value of the planned observations and the coordination of these observations with other observatories. The Working Group should also assess how the proposed science program might establish foundational science for the next generation UV/OIR Great Observatory.
