Thank you Lynn,

I also lean toward starting a new CG and just inviting everyone from
Community I/O to rejoin if one still feels interest in participating.

Just earlier today someone tried to explain me difference between two
groups active in Barcelona. Social Economy and Solidarity Economy. Than
we have Sharing Economy and Collaborative economy.

Since W3C has 'Social Activity' ( http://www.w3.org/Social/ ) as part of
'Technology & Society Domain' ( http://www.w3.org/TandS/ ). And Social
Activity mentions already closed Social Business CG which concluded with
http://www.w3.org/2013/socialweb/report

Maybe to keep the *Social* spirit, we could name new group Social
Economy CG and simply use 'economy' for short name? This would result in
CG url https://www.w3.org/community/economy/

I also apologize for not mentioning in my previous email, very inspiring
work which Lynn, Bob and others already started in
https://github.com/openvocab Where they focus on describing concepts
like Agent, Resource, Process, Exchange etc. in context of socioeconomic
environment, at least as I understand it currently.

Last thing I would like to notice, Sandro mentions in one of Crosscloud
documents, various online services which many people consider as
Collaborative Economy platforms (silos) and which had representation
during OuiShare Fest 2014 (where Harry also gave talk and joined panel
discussion)
https://github.com/sandhawke/crosscloud/blob/master/apps.md

I hope we can base work in this new CG on outcomes from Social WG and
use extensibility mechanisms to model economic domain.

How about using this repository to write description for new group
together? https://github.com/openvocab/w3c-economy-cg

I'll start with initial draft right away!

Thank you & Cheers :)
