You may have misinterpreted Henry. The Chair (Henry) is not at a barrier to anyone contributing.

Henry did not state that he can't or unwilling - he only made a general comment about focus and time limitations. Which goes without saying for everyone. If there is substantive work to be done, the CG can indeed continue. I initiated the creation of the w3c/webid repository just so that we can in fact incorporate the feedback and take on new issues. The chair is inviting you to make contributions. -Sarven https://csarven.ca/#i
