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

Many thanks to Dom and to Art for pointing out that the intent of my earlier note was lost in the mailing.

Just to be clear, then, absent substantive objection, we'll consider the group closed from 18th September (Wednesday). 

Also a reminder to sign up to the Web and Mobile public mailing list http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-web-mobile/ and participate in the continuing work started by this group. 

Looking forward to seeing you on that list!
Jo
