The CG needs the BG to even start discussing

So there is one thing I would like to understand... Most of the
important decisions about the CG's activity - including selection
of Chairs - have to be approved by the W3C Publishing BG.

But the W3C Publishing BG just does not exist at this time; there are,
AFAICT, only 3 BGs at W3C: Automotive and Web Platform, Web and
Broadcasting, and Web-based Signage.

Without the creation and launch of that BG immediately, the EPUB3 CG
cannot start work at all and all decisions will be void, per Charter.

Furthermore, an item in the Charter reads « Coordination with the
publishing industry regarding requirements and priorities for ongoing
EPUB 3 development will be delegated to the W3C Publishing Business
Group (BG). ». That means we can't even do technical work w/o
pre-approval from the BG, and I clearly find this *very* suboptimal.

Could we please have the BG launched immediately to let us start
discussing with it, *or* amend the Charter to make the CG more
independent (I have a strong preference for the latter)?
