Now that we have a repopulated Specifications Council<https://openid.net/specs-council/>, I believe it's time that we exercise our responsibility to recommend closing of a working group.

Section 4.4 of https://openid.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/OIDF_Process-Document_Final_2024-10-19.pdf says:
The Specifications Council may recommend closure of a WG at any time that the WG has not had Minimum Membership for six consecutive months at the time of closure, and such recommendation will promptly be submitted for a Supermajority confirmation vote of the Board, in accordance with the voting procedures in §3.

Section 4.7 says:
The Specifications Council may recommend closure of a WG at any time that the WG has not had an Editor for the immediately prior 30 days, and such recommendation will promptly be submitted for a Supermajority confirmation vote of the Board, in accordance with the voting procedures in §3.

There hasn't been any e-mail sent to the working group mailing list, other than by Mike Leszcz, since March 2022<https://lists.openid.net/pipermail/openid-specs-heart/Week-of-Mon-20220328/thread.html>.  The last commit to the working group repository<https://bitbucket.org/openid/heart/src/master/> was in 2018.

If there was ever a clear candidate for closure, this is it!

Spec council members (John, Mark, Dick, Bjorn, Dima, Nat), please reply-all with your thoughts.

                                                                -- Mike
