Hi Jim, I also had some misgivings about this, but you will note that the charter says that the WG does not *plan* to have f2f meetings, not that it can't have them. The idea is that if the work of the WG can be accomplished without f2f meetings, it will save considerable resources both for participants and for the W3C. My recollection of the WebOnt WG is that it was perfectly possible to get work done without f2f meetings, but that they were useful for resolving more contentious issues. If such issues arise, then it may be necessary to ask for a f2f meeting; the (possibly naive) hope is that that it will not be necessary.
