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

Dear Community Group members,

A call for use cases and requirements on the proposed Web Thing Protocol
<https://www.w3.org/community/web-thing-protocol/> has been open
<https://www.w3.org/community/web-thing-protocol/2020/07/06/call-for-use-cases-requirements-web-thing-protocol/>
since July 2020 (a little longer than planned!).

Thank you to everyone who has provided their input and support so far, both
on GitHub and during our face to face meeting at TPAC.

After a long delay since our last meeting at TPAC last year *I am proposing
a resolution to publish the Use Cases & Requirements
<https://w3c.github.io/web-thing-protocol/requirements/> document* and
start work on the main deliverables
<https://w3c.github.io/web-thing-protocol/charter/#deliverables> of the
group.

I suggest that this requirements report be a living document which may
continue to evolve alongside the specifications that implement it, so if
you have any further use cases or requirements to propose then please be
reassured that they may be included in the future.

Given the amount of time that has already elapsed for comment, *unless
there are any objections within seven days I plan to publish the report *in
its current state.

It would also be helpful if members could respond to this email with their
*support* for publishing the report, since you may have noticed W3C staff
have proposed closing down this group due to inactivity. Any signs of
activity or support will help to justify the continued existence of this
group.

Many thanks

Ben
