Closing the CG (was: Coremob Update - Announcing the Web and Mobile Interest Group [via Core Mobile Web Platform Community Group])

Hi all,

As part of Jo's blog post (copied in its entirety below since it was
truncated by the auto-mailer) was a call for objections to closing the
Core Mob CG:
        "Given little traffic on this list, the dormancy of the CG and
        the explicit intention of the W&M IG to pursue the work of
        Coremob I think it is time to archive Coremob. Objections?"
http://www.w3.org/community/coremob/2013/09/04/coremob-update-announcing-the-web-and-mobile-interest-group/

Jo didn't give a deadline, but I assume that two weeks is a reasonable
timeframe.

Cheers,

Dom

Hi Everyone

   Perhaps you’ve noticed Coremob has been on an extended break,
   but now it’s time to get back to work!

   Despite the silence, I hope you’ve noticed the recent
   announcement of the formation for the Web and Mobile Interest
   Group. Well just in case you hadn’t spotted that, on 20th
   August W3C [28]announced that it had been formed. Hopefully
   you’ll recall the discussions on this list about the creation
   of that group and what it should do. Well, it has taken a
   little time, but the resulting [29]charter has been agreed and
   the brand new IG has a [30]home page.

     [28] http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9917
     [29] http://www.w3.org/2013/07/webmobile-ig-charter.html
     [30] http://www.w3.org/Mobile/IG/

   Now, since I am co-chair of that group it goes without saying
   really that I encourage you to join it! I do appreciate that
   the home page is a little bare at the moment, but I hope you
   will bear with me and my wonderful co-chairs get some substance
   around this and with the incomparable support of Dom I’m sure
   that over the next couple of weeks, we will!

   Specifically then, a couple of actions and a question.

   If your organisation is a W3C member ask your AC rep to join
   the group and enrol you as a member.

   If you don’t have a W3C affiliation then sign up to the
   [31]public mailing list, on which all work will be carried out.
   Join the discussion and participate in the work of the group,
   please.

   Finally, the question. Given little traffic on this list, the
   dormancy of the CG and the explicit intention of the W&M IG to
   pursue the work of Coremob I think it is time to archive
   Coremob. Objections?

   So, in summary, hurry up and join in the work of the Web and
   Mobile Interest Group. The Web site may as yet be a little
   dull, the name of the group isn’t that catchy, yet (but what
   about WAM!) but with your participation all that will happen (I
   mean as well as helping shape a future in which the Web is the
   pre-eminent mechanism for development of cross-platform
   products and services!)

   thanks

   Jo
