Re: changing this group from CG to IG

Dear all,
I myself, like you Paola and I must assume most of the members of this Community Group would like to see a report written.
Personally I am intent on getting some proposals for creation of standards off the ground as well.
I will look at what we have produced so far, and what we realistically can produce in the next three months.
I am in the process of setting up an applied research institute in which AI will be a central theme.
I will create an outline for deliverables, a wiki, and creating an extensive literature review, and listing of existing institutes, global programs and projects and a listing of existing standards relevant to AI, KR, robotics and related subjects.
All of this structured into a document with an introduction, history of the subject, brief overview of current state of the art, guidelines proposed by the UN, European Union etc,, and a set of our CG recommendations for research and standardization, rounded off with an extensive literature review and listings and directories could serve as the initial deliverable.
This document could then serve as a focus for further discussion in an IG or production of new deliverables in a continued AIKR CG.
Creating this deliverable will take 3 months, and because I have to produce a similar deliverable for my research institute, in less than 3 months, I take it upon myself to get this deliverable produced with collaboration from members of this CG.

Volunteers for support and collaboration, comments, suggestions and ideas are welcome.

 Greetings folks
according to Ian at W3C, the main difference between between a CG and an IG is
Community Groups often produce specifications (called Community Group Reports). Interest Groups typically do not; they focus on discussion. 

I hope this group can produce a report, but because we have not seen enough contributionssince the group started, and I am really busy working on research papers and talks, and I am going to be for the next few months despite my wish to produce something for this group I am struggling to keep up, I wonder if we should a) wait until someone perks up to contribute to write a group report,b)  change this group to an interest group at some point soon
Thoughts? Objections?Have a great weekend
