My one other thought here is that even if we formally object to the merging of the groups, I don't think we're likely to be able to win that argument at this stage. Right now they've found chairs for the combined group, and I'm not aware of anyone else objecting to it. Part of the motivation for merging the groups was that nobody seemed to have any high-priority work to go in the HTML working group. There are a bunch of things people want to happen with existing HTML, but nobody seemed ready to step up to do any of it. This means that there didn't seem to be a good motivation for chartering a new HTML working group on its own. This also means that even if we objected to the merger, there wouldn't be a good alternative to the merger. I think it's worth expressing concern about the possibility that this will mess up the existing WebApps community. And if bad things happen, we should raise them quickly and at a high level. -David -- 𝄞 L.
