I'd also like to thank Barbara for all her fine work for this
WG, and everything else in IETF-land too!

So, (having checked with Eric and Barbara) I'd also like
to know whether (or not) participants consider that the
homenet WG may now have reached the time when it's more
appropriate to close the WG. That might (or might not)
make a search for a new co-chair moot.

If closing the WG were the better option then we'd want
to have a discussion about how to handle ongoing work
(e.g. see if there's a better venue), but that's a
separate discussion.

Cheers,
S.

PS: FWIW, I'd be just as happy if there's consensus to
continue or to call it a day - either is a fine outcome
if it matches reality.
