Topic:  broken links on CG and CG Reports pages
****************************************************************

CG Reports are linked from the Reports page and from the page for the
responsible CG:

  https://www.w3.org/community/reports/
  https://www.w3.org/community/ixml/

Currently, both of those link use not the URL of the report but to a
URL which returns an TLS error:
