Group Needs a New Chair before 22 April 2024

Jacopo has said he will be stepping down as chair on 22 April 202.  We
thank Jacopo for his contribution and wish him the best with whatever comes
next.  FYI:  It is possible to step down as chair from the *user interface*,
there is no need to contact W3C staff.

A gentle reminder that *community groups at the* *W3C cannot operate
long-term without a chair*.

That gives the group 4 weeks to get a new chair.

1. If one or more people wish to chair the group, *please reply to this
thread before 22 April 2014.  *IMHO any candidate should be backed roughly
by lazy consensus, 2+ ACKs and no NACKs after a 2 week period.  But let's
cross that bridge when we come to it.  Typically a CG can have between 1-3
chairs, with 2+ considered best practice.

2. If someone wants to be a caretaker chair ie "Ill do it if no one else
wants to", please reply to this thread.  That would offer a back stop, or
chair of last resort, in order for the group to finish off some work and
give it breathing space.  *Please reply by 22 April 2024*

3. *If no chair is volunteers by 22 April* *2024*, let's work with W3C
staff to close the group.  Its a fairly simple process of contacting W3C
staff.  Normally there is also a grace period of up to 6 months, we will
have to see what the W3C say, on that count.

While I would personally like to continue, particularly for the group to
define what a WebID is, there are very few active people, in the group
right now, so option 3. might be the current trajectory.

Please reply to this thread in the next 4 week if you have any interest in
volunteering or helping out.
