Proposed Group: Sustainability Community Group
The Sustainability Community Group has been proposed by Tantek Çelik:
The Sustainability CG is a group for discussing all aspects of sustainability (s12y) with respect to web technologies present & future, including developing horizontal reviews of sustainability (e.g. energy use or device obsolescence impacts of technologies).
You are invited to support the creation of this group. Once the group has a total of five supporters, it will be launched and people can join to begin work. In order to support the group, you will need a W3C account.
Once launched, the group will no longer be listed as “proposed”; it will be in the list of current groups.
If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on site-comments@w3.org
Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
Thanks to the W3C #sustainability Community for inspiring and coming to consensus on this proposal! Copied from the Slack:
Note past/existing CGs which this proposed group is not intending to replace (thanks @Nick Doty for digging through CGs)

I’m proposing starting the CG with myself (with background as leading the Sustainability session at TPAC 2021) and Nick Doty (experienced co-chair of Privacy Interest Group) as co-chairs to start with, and certainly open to adding additional co-chairs (especially those with both topical experience/expertise and experience de-escalating conflicts and promptly resolving Code of Conduct (CEPC) violations)
