Draft outline of task force proposal to W3M

Dear fellow participants of the task force,

Based on preliminary work [1] and the minutes of the AC Meeting breakout  
session on CG/BG transitions [2], I will flesh out a proposal to W3M for  
the upcoming f2f meeting where I have a 30-minute slot on 18-Jul.

Here's a draft outline for your information and/or review.
Comments, suggestions, additions welcome. Ideally before Friday 12-Jul.

======
1) Business as usual: Which groups will transition?

List of groups that have or will have a spec to transition.


2) The Ask: Wish-list to enhance the CG experience

At this AC meeting there was support and demand to explore the following  
aspects, for which resource allocation is needed :

- Top three needs for tools (as identified by Team, as supported by the  
AC):
* enable AC reps to find groups for employees of their org (discovery)
* data for community group integration with W3C Domains (heat-maps)
* general monitoring and assessment of groups' health (scalability  
challenge)

- Stalled projects to reboot:
* expand transition process:  
http://www.w3.org/community/council/wiki/Transition_to_the_W3C_standards_track
* FAQ that covers social aspects, best practices, how CGs and WGs relate  
when their scope are complementary
* analytics for house-keeping (e.g. to close dormant groups)
* integrate documentation into site
* integrate chair role into CG process
* implement TPAC2012 request to distinguishing CG deliverables from other  
W3C deliverables
* automate somewhat the join procedure


3) Related points for W3M discussion:

* Getting shared agreement on what group type to use (pick IG over WG?  
etc.)
* Putting CGs in the process. Pros, cons.
