Hi chairs, all, I think this is a great working group. Periods of silence are physiological; for example, they may arise after a thorough discussion about a proposed point which is eventually found to be unfeasible. The idea to force every abuse-c to actually receive email messages and act on them suits that example. If there are security topics that the current charter doesn't cover, re-chartering is certainly a good idea. The chairs are great, especially Brian, and I see no reason to select new ones. Closing the working group would be a matter of regret and I hope it's not going to happen.
