Good plan.

I told them that my goal was to wait until we polish the CG report and get more implementation reports to initiate the chartering process. The encouraged me, instead, to not wait and start right now. Their arguments were the following:

That is, of course, if the participants of the WG think it is the best way to go. If we are not ready for that, we should probably stop at the CG-report.

I hope it would be in-scope to consider adding semantics to Named Graphs, too, so that the name of a graph used elsewhere in the document would have some normative relationship to the graph it names.

I don't think coupling to a general RDF working group is the best way to 
proceed. There is a difference of timescales.

The RDF-star work has an initial report, test suite, and this 
community's discussions. It can move on a relatively short (for a WG) 
timescale.

Other matters - all of which are good - are not at he same stage and 
need input material, or to run on a longer-timescale so that wider, 
in-depth discussions can happen and become proposals.
