Re: Proposed Resolution: Publish the Web Thing Protocol Use Cases & Requirements report

Dear Community Group members,

I'm pleased to say that after a short delay waiting for W3C Staff review,
the Web Thing Protocol Use Cases & Requirements report has been published
at
https://www.w3.org/community/reports/web-thing-protocol/CG-FINAL-web-thing-protocol-requirements-20231101/

Thank you to everyone who contributed to and provided feedback on this
first deliverable.

Now that we have published our use cases and requirements we can start work
on our main deliverables, which are:
- Web Thing Protocol - WebSocket Sub-protocol
- Web Thing Protocol - HTTP Sub-protocol

Please stay tuned for next steps!

Ben
