Re: CfC: Call for resolution to publish WoT Profiles as a Group Note

Hi Ben and the Profile TF,

Thanks a lot for your hard work and contributions!

As I mentioned during the Profile call on July 30:
  https://www.w3.org/2025/07/30-wot-profile-minutes.html#f971

the latest W3C Process (specifcally its section 6.3.13.1 [a]) says
that we should publish a draft, which we have given up to bring to
REC, as an "Discontinued Draft" instead of a "Note". So I'll talk with
Philippe about that today.

Very sorry I was not aware of this big change of the Process...

Thanks,

Kazuyuki
