Closing your Community Group?

Dear all,

Your Community Group is among the groups launched more than 6 months ago
with 5 people or fewer and appears to be unused.
The W3C Team proposes to *CLOSE* it in 10 days or so, per the Community and
Business Group Process [1] (relevant parts quoted below), unless there are
compelling arguments not to.


[1] Community and Business Group Process
<https://www.w3.org/community/about/agreements/>

Duration and Closure of a Community Group
-----------------------------------------

Once a Community Group has been launched, participants may continue to
work indefinitely, until the Community Development Lead closes the group;
see the grounds for closure.

No less than ten business days before closing a group, the Community
Development Lead must alert the participants. Once closed, no individuals
may join, and discussions stop. However, W3C makes available information
about closed Community Groups and archives of their communications.

Closed Community Groups are re-opened following the creation process.


Grounds for Closure of a Community Group
----------------------------------------
The Community Development Lead may close a Community Group in any of
following circumstances:

      Chair Request. The Group Chair requests that the group be closed
(e.g., as the result of a group decision, or on a certain date selected in
advance by the group).
      Inactivity. The number of participants drops below 3 for an extended
period, or because participant activity (e.g., as measured by
communications among participants) ceases for an extended period.
      Agreement Violations. When, in the judgment of the Community
Development Lead, the group has committed a serious violation of this
policy, for instance exceeding its scope.

The Community Development Lead and Chair should discuss the group’s status
before the Community Development Lead initiates closure.
