<div class="">Hi Edgar,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The API Working Group is alive and well. We meet weekly on IRC and send a newsletter to openstack-dev@ for all to stay updated on our progress. I've added us back to the User Committee wiki page.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Mission Statement</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">To improve the developer experience of API users by converging the OpenStack API to a consistent and pragmatic RESTful design. The working group creates guidelines that all OpenStack projects should follow for new development, and promotes convergence
of new APIs and future versions of existing APIs.</div>

to achieve their specific goals and exactly as the TC validates and accepts development projects the UC needs to validate and accept WGs before they be granted with resources and support from UC and the OpenStack Foundation.

work and activities. This is only for existing WGs not for new ones. If we do not hear from WG Chairs, we will assume that those WGs are no longer active and therefore they will be removed from UC documentation.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>
