Should we complete the WebID spec?

Dear Group

I trust this message finds you well.

Over the last couple of days in Solid CG we have been discussing the
possibility of a "Solid-Lite" spec.

I have begun drafting it, but there's two remaining sections that I need to
complete.

1. A lite WebID profile
2. A lite authentication method for said profile

Considering recent events, it's entirely understandable if the group feels
hesitant to pursue the WebID Specs further. I've made an effort to capture
our previous discussions and integrated aspects from Nathan's
superset/subset proposal, which you can review here:

https://github.com/webidcg/draft-spec

So I was wondering if there is an appetite to carry on working, or to call
it a day.  We dont have a chair but we were operating via Jacopo's proposal
of lazy consensus.

We could use that system to decide whether or not to close the group.

Or to carry on and complete Nathan's suggestion.

Does anyone have thoughts on this?

With deepest sympathy and respect,
Melvin
