Having a WG just for possible new features, without any clear deliverables, but using W3C resources is not really a good idea. A CG has the flexibility that WG does not have in focusing in on new issues and directions, it does not rely on W3C membership to be joined (in contrast to WG-s), etc.

It may very well be that the CG will come with a clearer proposed mandate for a rechartering, eventually. If that is there, then a re-chartering may become a possibility at that point. In the meantime, the much more flexible forum like the CG seems to be more efficient.

Cheers

Ivan

The CG is planned to take over what we often call the 'life after Rec', ie, to provide a home for further discussions on, say, implementations, possible new features for a future update of the rec, usage practices, etc.
