Merging with a WG

Although traffic on this list has lately been sparse, I believe this community has generally made good progress cleaning up the XG report into something that will be palatable to browser vendors.  I trust that once northern hemisphere summer projects and vacations draw to a close, we will resume discussions and publish our first draft in time for TPAC.

I suggest that we use this break to begin planning our transition into a formal Working Group.  My goal would be to have the structure in place by TPAC so that would could kickoff meaningful discussions F2F.  Do other folks in this community support that goal?

A significant part of merging into a WG is finding the right home.  Several of us prefer the idea of merging with an existing group while some have suggested a new group.  I suggest we start that decision by reaching out to the existing groups to see if the charters are mutually compatible.  If we can find a compatible home, then we put it as a vote to this group whether to join.  If we cannot find a compatible group by TPAC, then we create our own.  Does this sound like an acceptable proposal?
