Dear Group, There are several process items that require our immediate attention to foster progress: 1. The potential approval of the Solid WG Charter opens an opportunity for WebID to transition from draft to REC status. Our collective consensus suggests this is a desirable advancement. 2. Jacopo has generously offered to assist with document editing to ensure a smoother transition and accurate representation of the group consensus. This assistance has been agreed upon for over a year now. 3. In August 2020, we unanimously agreed to include JSON-LD in the WebID spec [1]. Unfortunately, progress has been stalled due to two obstacles. Firstly, we are one of the rare groups without a co-chair - a feature generally considered a CG best practice. Secondly, the current chair's inconsistent responsiveness is an issue. Given that the Solid WG Charter could be up for voting soon, we need to enable Jacopo to begin his work with official confirmation, and generally unblock the group to facilitate timely interactions with any potential Solid CG. Proposal: To overcome these bottlenecks, I suggest we introduce a co-chair role to our CG. This role would support the consensus of the group and decrease the risk of further delay. Is anyone able to volunteer, temporarily for about 8 weeks, or on a permanent basis? We may also consider seeking assistance from a staff contact to expedite the unblocking process. WebID is a product of over a decade of dedicated work from many. With a possibility of achieving W3C REC status, it would be greatly appreciated if someone could volunteer to represent the group's views and help us finalize the spec. Looking forward to your thoughts and positive responses. [1] https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webid/2020Aug/0000.html
