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

Dear WoT Working Group,

I am delighted to share that in today's Profiles task force meeting we
closed the final issues blocking the publication of Web of Things (WoT)
Profiles 1.0. The task force therefore now considers the content of the
document to be complete¹ to the point that it can be published as a Group
Note <https://www.w3.org/standards/types/#x2-5-2-group-note>, as per the
plan previously agreed by resolutions in the Profiles
<https://www.w3.org/2025/05/07-wot-profile-minutes.html> call on 7th May
and Main call <https://www.w3.org/2025/05/21-wot-minutes.html> on 21st May.

I would therefore like to call for the following resolution, to be
discussed in the Main call² next week (6th August):

*The WoT Working Group agrees to publish the current Editor's Draft of Web
of Things (WoT) Profiles as a Group Note.*

Please see the latest Editor's Draft at https://w3c.github.io/wot-profile/

As per the Working Group's decision policy
<https://www.w3.org/2023/10/wot-wg-2023.html#decisions>, if there are no
objections to this resolution within five working days (i.e. by the next
Main call) then the Working Group may choose to adopt this resolution with
immediate effect, so that the publication process may begin.

Please take this opportunity to carry out a final review of the document
and raise any questions or concerns you may have as issues
<https://github.com/w3c/wot-profile/issues>, or by responding to this email.

Thank you for everyone's hard work so far!

Kind regards

Ben Francis
Co-moderator, Profiles Task Force

Footnotes:

   1. Pending the addition of a note in the Status of this Document section
   to explain the switch from the W3C recommendation track
   <https://www.w3.org/policies/process/#rec-track> to the note track
   <https://www.w3.org/policies/process/#note-track>, which will be added
   at the time of publication. Wording to be agreed in issue #432
   <https://github.com/w3c/wot-profile/issues/432>.
   2. Ideally we would make a task force resolution before the working
   group resolution but as it stands the Profiles call is directly after the
   Main call next week. We'll figure out a way to co-ordinate that.
