RE: moving to Community Group?

Hi, Dan. 

Thanks for your explanations. 
It would be helpful for me to understand the W3C's changed policy and intentions. 

However, there are still remains misunderstandable points. 
Currently, the community group looks like non-standard track or informal track. 
It seems like the goal of community group is just to encourage community participation. 

I think W3C staff need to clarify at this point

Best Regards,

A couple more points. I checked with Ian Jacobs at W3C. As a group
transitioning from the Incubator activity, we could keep using the
teleconference bridge, and also this email list. So no need to
re-subscribe everyone to a new CG list. So that all seems good so far.
