I've just taken the liberty of nominating Phil Barker as chair of the
Community Group, since this reflects quite naturally the fact that Phil has
been driving this work along already. From a schema.org perspective this
means that we'll look to Phil as a first point of contact on the status of
this work, and to help us bridge the gap between the general schema.org
communication channels (email + github issues) and Course-specific
discussions. But we can all do our bit on that front. For example in
schema.org's Github issues we have
https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/195 regarding courses. I've
just dropped a link to the new CG into that group.

Phil - are you happy being chair of the Community Group? If not, I believe
the W3C system now means that you have to choose who to nominate as
co-chair of chair...

cheers,

Dan
