CfC: (belated) SocialWeb Working Group Charter proposal from the CG

One of the exciting things that has happened in SWICG earlier this year
(April/May), is that the CG submitted a proposal to the W3C management for
a new Social Web Working Group charter scope.
This came after many months of group discussion on the
https://github.com/swicg/potential-charters issues, mailing list, and
monthly group calls, culminating in a group vote during the April
monthly CG call (https://github.com/swicg/meetings/tree/main/2025-04-04).

The proposed WG charter is now making its way through the W3C WG formation
process (you can follow the progress on the issue
https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues/435 ).

However, Bengo has pointed out that we have not actually sent out a Call
for Proposal email to the SWICG mailing list (as is stated in our Community
Group Charter
https://swicg.github.io/potential-charters/CGCharter-1727386911.html
(adopted earlier this year in February)).

This oversight is entirely my fault; deep apologies to the community.

Better late than never, though -- this email is that formal CfC for the
proposed WG charter. This is a chance for anyone here on the mailing list
that has missed the github discussions or monthly calls, to voice concerns,
etc. Usual 14 days comment period applies, from the charter.

Thank you, everyone, on your hard work on this group and charter.
Looking forward to collaborating on specs in this and the coming year!
