With your support, the Web Thing Protocol Community Group has been launched:
  http://www.w3.org/community/web-thing-protocol/

This group was originally proposed on 2019-09-16
by Ben Francis. The following people supported its
creation:
      Ben Francis
      Gustavo Zapico
      Junde Yhi
      Zoltan Kis
      Dave Raggett


To join the group, please use:
 http://www.w3.org/community/web-thing-protocol/join

Please note that supporting a group is different from joining
a group. Supporters must also enroll if they wish to participate.

--------------------
The mission of this group is to define a common protocol for
communicating with connected devices over the web, to enable ad-hoc
interoperability on the  Web of Things .

Deliverables of the group may include use cases, requirements and
specifications.

The group will collaborate with the W3C Web of Things Interest Group and
Working Group to ensure any specifications complement or extend the “
Web of Things (WoT) Thing Description ” specification.

Objectives:

   Define a WebSocket sub-protocol for the Web of Things, using the W3C
“Web of Things (WoT) Thing Description” data model and operations
   Define an HTTP protocol binding for the Web of Things (or support the
Web of Things Working Group in defining this protocol binding and
ensuring consistency with the WebSocket sub-protocol where appropriate)
Evaluate other potential Web of Things protocol bindings (e.g. CoAP)


See the proposed  Community Group Charter  for more information.
