We're now slightly more official than we were before...

 W3C Launches URI Interest Group

 2005-02-16: W3C is pleased to announce the relaunch of the URI
 Activity. The new URI Interest Group, chaired by Dan
 Connolly (W3C) and Norman Walsh (Sun Microsystems), is
 chartered through 28 February 2007. The group reviews ongoing
 work related to Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs)
 and Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs) and helps to
 deploy quality implementations by maintaining testing materials.
 Participation is open to W3C Members and the public.

Most of the charter can be summarized as "keep doing what
you have been doing" but in case anyone is unaware of
W3C patent policy, it's normatively cited from our charter...

Patent Disclosures

The URI Interest Group provides an opportunity to share perspectives on
URI. W3C reminds Interest Group participants of their obligation to
comply with patent disclosure obligations as set out in Section 6 of the
W3C Patent Policy. While the Interest Group does not produce
Recommendation-track documents, when Interest Group participants review
Recommendation-track specifications from Working Groups, the patent
disclosure obligations do apply.
