Without the research and guidelines provided by the UX team, user-facing projects (such as Docs) will be poorer. I believe that it's in Foundations best interests to ensure that UX work is ongoing, and adequately supported, in the same way as Marketing and other user outreach services.

I think the team will have a quorum to continue the persona and research work but we will need to find if there are people in the community with actual UX design experience that are willing to also participate.  Does the TC envision this as a UC or TC governed WG?  I'll submit the patches according to your response.

Thanks Thierry.  I'll send a doodle poll next week to determine a new meeting time and who's interested in participating.
