Thanking Jacopo for his incredible contribution, I think he achieved more in one quarter, than we did in multiple years previous. An incredible amount of work, and while I think the door would be open for him to continue as chair or co-chair, it is understandable that he wants to step back. Thank you Jacopo, I hope you stick around! That potentially leaves the group without a chair, and in danger of closing completely after 15 years. This might be a good point to throw in the towel, however, I do think there's a few more loose ends that could be usefully tied up. For example, the definition of WebID is something that IMHO could useful be a work item and a note (TBD). I suggest we move forward only if we have a chair. And that should be roughly speaking on a lazy consensus basis. I propose, someone to self-volunteer on the mailing list. With 2+ ACKs and no NACKs, open for, say, 2 weeks. Another option would be for someone to offer to be a "back stop" and say, they will be a caretaker chair, if no one else volunteers. The final option is to close the group. Personally I lean towards keeping going, but at a reduce pace. The years 2014-2023 were a bit too slow, and the years 2023-2024 were a bit to fast, imho. A happy medium of slow but steady progress might enable the completion of some technical items before all is said and done. Please do speak up if there's a will to continue the work of WebID. I for one would like to finish off some of the work, which is almost over the line.
