Welcome to HTTPS in Local Network Community Group

Dear all participants,

Welcome to HTTPS in Local Network Community Group!

My name is Tomoyuki Shimizu, working at KDDI (a telco operator in Japan).
First of all, we would like to share our preliminary discussion held in
TPAC 2016, "HTTPS Migration in Local Network"[1]. We hope that we will be
able to reach a secure way to enable browsers to communicate with
web-server-capable devices in local network.

To move this community group forward,

   - We would like to choose Chair(s). For now, 3 persons, Daisuke Ajitomi
   (Toshiba), Yoshiro Yoneya (JPRS), and I, are registered as *interim*
   co-chairs, and announce our candidacy. According to chair selection process
   described in [2], if 5 participants call for an election, we will start
   this election process to choose new Chair(s). Otherwise, the 3
   participants will remain as co-chairs formally.
   - We suggest using GitHub[3] as a place for discussion and document
   editing, unless there is any objection.
   - In parallel with the chair selection, we would like to start
   discussion about use cases. We are pleased if add your use case by
   submitting Pull Request or comment[4].
   - For the purpose of clarifying our scope, sponsors of the TPAC breakout
   session[1] made preliminary discussion about the charter of this community
   group[5]. This draft is just our initial proposal; any comments and
   proposals are welcome, of course.

Best regards,
Tomoyuki
