Only four of us have ever been active on the list and I question the WG's continued relevancy for the CLE or OAE both in light of the advent of the TCC and later Apereo.

Step one, we right size the membership to active participants only and keep it alive since the email address exists in numbers of documents throughout Confluence and elsewhere that will take time to update.  Step two, we formally dissolve the list once alternative procedures for handling licensing questions are in place.
