*Sangwhan*, Doug created an empty (uninitialized) repo for us here:
https://github.com/w3c/touch-events.  Once you're happy with them, are you
able to push all your migrated commits there?

*Doug, *can the CG (or at least specific individuals that ask) get write
access to that repo?  Or do we need to work on a clone and submit PRs?  If
you need to list CG folks by hand, then the relevant GitHub accounts I know
off off the top of my head are:

jacobrossi
cynthia (Sangwhan)
mbrubeck
scottgonzalez
AFBarstow
RByers
mustaqahmed (Mustaq on my team will be helping with the spec)
tdresser (Tim on my team may also help)

 Thanks,
   Rick
