Status of the CG

Dear all,

During some offline discussions at TPAC, some questions were raised 
regarding this CG, in particular:
1) Giuseppe cannot be chair anymore, so we need a new chair(s)
2) what are the next steps for this CG.

My thoughts are:
1) The description of CGs indicate that it shall have at least one chair 
but that it may have multiple chairs. There does not seem to be a formal 
process to decide who chairs a CG. I suggest that people who volunteer 
to chair the group do so on the list. Then depending on the number of 
candidates either we can either accept the 1 or 2 candidate(s) or cast a 
vote if there are 3 or more candidates. I don't expect that last option 
to happen though. I volunteer to chair this group if people are ok with 
that.

2) I think the work of this group is not done for several reasons:
- in my mind the draft can be improved editorially and technically. I've 
started filing bugs and will continue.
- we need to convince browser implementers to review and start 
implementing what the draft says. To do that, I think we should be 
adding use cases, for instance to the wiki.

So, I'm in favor of keeping this group active because:
- it's always good to have a mailing list dedicated for discussions. 
Everything should not happen in bugs because people don't look at them.
- The group has been presented in the Web&TV IG and many people seemed 
interested to join.
- The Bugzilla only exists because the CG exists.
- The FSA procedure to transfer the spec from the CG to a WG (to produce 
REC) needs the CG to exist.

Comments?
