Reaching out here to those on the list with ties to W3C (Liam, Michael, others?) if there are news to share regarding the continued activity of W3C in general, W3C's involvement as a major sponsor for markup conferences, and maybe the hosting of this mailing list (we do know that W3C's XML activity has stopped years ago). The twitter below left me a bit worried.
As you may recall:
• MIT partly hosts W3C, but withdraws Dec 31
• A W3C nonprofit needs to take over on Jan 1
• MIT has assets (dues, contracts, IP…) to transfer to new W3C
• I was elected to the W3C Board & in the negotiations
Two weeks from cutover it's going… poorly. 🧵 |

Best,
