Thanks, Allison.  I'd be in favor of shuttering it now.  Some very
good discussion came out of the initial launch period, and those
discussions will always be accessible in the archives.  But given the
group's inactivity over the past year (or more?), I think maybe we've
found by experiment that those discussions are the main output of the
group -- which is fine, IMHO.  Not everything needs to produce a
manifesto or a next-steps agenda :-).

(Just my tentative conclusion; others may feel differently, and I
might change my mind on hearing what they say.)
