Hello,

The group is still active. We do expect to publish guidance documents. We
also anticipate more activity as soon as Math 4.0 goes to CR. That
specification will support Chemistry and software that presents Chemistry to
AT will be needed to be tested. Guidance on authoring will be needed and
this group can help.

It will be a while before our web pages are updated.

Best
George

Subject: Planning to close Chemistry for the Web and Publishing Community
Group due to inactivity unless we hear from you

Dear participants in the

  Chemistry for the Web and Publishing Community Group
  https://www.w3.org/community/chem-web-pub/

In May 2025 we contacted you because your Community Group appeared to have
become inactive (per [1]). Based on feedback in response to our message, we
did not close the group, with the expectation that the group would soon
become more active. Nearly one year later, your group appears to still be
inactive, and we are more inclined to close it unless we hear compelling
reasons not to.

If your group is in fact active, we ask that you respond to this email with
answers to these two questions:

* Is your group publishing any Specifications?
* What is the group's expectation about future standardization of
 those Specifications at W3C or at some other standards body?

We also recommend the following:

* Let us know where the activity is going on so that we can update our
 data and improve our tools.

* Update your group home page with news of your activities.  Chairs
 can use the Wordpress instance of the group to post news; let us
 know if you have any questions.

If you have good reason to believe the group will soon become active please
let us know.

If you would like to schedule a call to discuss the current status of your
group, your plans, and any obstacles to success, or you simply have
questions about the CG program, please let us know.

If you are merely hopeful your group will soon become active, or if you
would like us to close the group, or if we do not hear from you in the next
30 days, we will plan to close the group.

Thank you,

CG/BG System
