CredWeb moving forward (was Re: Planning to close Credible Web Community Group due to inactivity unless we hear from you)

The group met today, as nine people, and unanimously confirmed the 
benefit of having this group. We made a consensus plan to meet at least 
quarterly going forward. That looks like: 7 Feb, 1 May, and at TPAC 2024 
(23-27 Sep). Scott Yates and I agreed to continue as chairs.

Meeting records and details at https://credweb.org. We also started 
#credweb on the W3C slack.

It's clear from the discussion today that misinformation as a problem 
continues to increase, and that standardized technologies may well be 
able to help in the future. It's also clear there's not yet a technical 
solution that has the momentum needed for standardization at W3C. So, 
for now, we'll keep the community connected and be a bit more ready to 
move forward if a solution emerges.

Thanks everyone for helpful discussion today, and folks who've been 
posting "outros".  It looks like we can switch those to just being 
"updates". If you haven't posted and didn't attend today, please do let 
us know what's going on for you in relation to combating misinformation.

Thanks!

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. Six months later, your group appears to still be inactive, and we are more inclined to close it unless we hear compelling reasons not to.
