Re: Resigning as chair, choosing a chair

Hi all,

I have chaired some CG's before and I think that there is no given 
process to elect the chair as CG's are informal. I found the text below 
in the CG Charter template 
(https://w3c.github.io/cg-charter/CGCharter.html).

> whatever means they prefer
I would prefer that we close this issue and confirm Jacopo as chair. 
Main reason is that he is doing a good job & no objections were uttered 
& process was transparently communicated on the mailing list.

So IMHO, we can make it official at 23:59:59.999 of Dec 10th, UTC time 
without further action. I logged into 
https://www.w3.org/community/webid/ and there is nothing to be done from 
participant side.

Not that I would have had any issue whatsoever had it been an objection. As I’ve stated multiple times, I’m happy to chair as long as the group is happy to have me.
