This is surprising.  There is a lot of work to do for maps on the Web, like: actually standardize them for interoperability, accessibility, internationalization and so on.  The Maps for HTML Community Group is a forum that depends on the SDW in some ways, if even just from a community of practice perspective.  It would be a shame for the spatial data community to lose interest, and a forum for expressing that interest, in the Web and especially Web standards.

Maybe we should engage in this discussion at a future group plenary call on the foundations of the group's existence, rather than letting the charter expire quietly.

Note that the plenary call from tomorrow (Nov 9th) seems cancelled.
