Re: Planning to close Web Thing Protocol Community Group due to inactivity unless we hear from you

Dear W3C Staff,

In the 30 days since your message the Web Thing Protocol Community Group
has seen the following activity:

   - Added the final touches to our Use Cases & Requirements report
      - https://github.com/w3c/web-thing-protocol/pull/19
      - https://github.com/w3c/web-thing-protocol/pull/21
      - https://github.com/w3c/web-thing-protocol/pull/22
   - Proposed a resolution to publish our Use Cases & Requirements report,
   which received support from multiple members including representatives from
   Siemens and Intel

I trust that this is sufficient to demonstrate that the group is active and
prevent you from closing the group?

Many thanks
