Participation in this workgroup has been declining to the point that little had been accomplished on most of the previously identified projects. This effort to re-charter the workgroup is intended to clearly define the mission of the workgroup, and to provide a firm basis on which to consider further projects. We encourage all voting PWG members to either confirm or object to the proposed charter by voting as instructed below. Insufficient votes would suggest that there is insufficient interest in the Semantic Model to justify maintaining an active workgroup, in which case it appears that IPP would be the only remaining active PWG workgroup.</p><p><o:p> </o:p></p><p>Thank you.</p><p>Bill Wagner, Proposed Secretary, Semantic Model Workgroup</p><p><o:p> </o:p></p><p><o:p> </o:p></p><div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p style='border:none;padding:0in'><br><b>From: </b>Michael Sweet<br><b>Sent: </b>Thursday, September 17, 2015 4:33 PM<br><b>To: </b>PWG Announcements<br><b>Subject: </b>[PWG-Announce] PWG Formal Vote of Semantic Model Charter (EndsOctober 16, 2015)</p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>Greetings,</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>VOTES ARE CONFIDENTIAL!
