Re: Reconciliation CG kick-off

Dear all, 

I like Thad’s idea about the GitHub repo and would be in.

I would also like to have definition of reconciliation first and then start working. 

Thanks for starting this process, Antonin. 

No interest in chairing as well :)

So, I think a Github repo with all it's bells and whistles gives us a lot of what we need to start with.  Github has worked well for us in Schema.org and Open Mobile Alliance while still keeping W3C community group as a way for official communication and voting within the community.
