With your support, the SPARQL Maintenance (EXISTS) Community Group has been launched:

This group was originally proposed on 2016-07-01
by Andy Seaborne. The following people supported its
creation:

Please note that supporting a group is different from joining
a group. Supporters must also enroll if they wish to participate.
--------------------
The "SPARQL Maintenance (EXISTS)" Community Group is a forum to discuss
and address problems with the "EXISTS" feature in SPARQL 1.1.
The SPARQL 1.1 suite of specifications and the SPARQL 1.1 test suite
are frozen. A process exists to record errata and that will be one input
to any working group chartered to revise SPARQL.
In the meantime, SPARQL is being used in real-work systems in industry
and public-sector. The user community expects a high degree of
conformance across implementations.
The EXISTS feature has been found to be problematic. This feature is
used by the RDF Data Shapes Working Group .
This community group will create CG Notes and accompanying test suites
to describe one or more improvements with an emphasis on maintaining
compatibility.
This group is not producing specifications.
Any tests produced by the will submitted to the RDF Test Suite Curation
CG for long-term stewardship.
