With FORCE11\u2019s support, COMET has grown into a cross-community effort grounded in openness, inclusivity, and action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_4013135864893442440p1\"><span style=\"font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif\">Throughout our time as a FORCE11 WG, we\u2019ve:<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li class=\"m_4013135864893442440li1\"><span style=\"font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif\"><b>Defined the core tenets<\/b>\u00a0of a distributed, open metadata enrichment model<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m_4013135864893442440li1\"><span style=\"font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif\"><b>Mapped common challenges<\/b>\u00a0facing stakeholders across the metadata lifecycle<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m_4013135864893442440li1\"><span style=\"font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif\"><b>Drafted a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cometadata.org\/blog\/call-to-action-comet\">Community Call to Action<\/a><\/b>, which invites organizations and individuals to endorse, adopt, and build on this shared vision\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"m_4013135864893442440p1\"><span style=\"font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif\">This moment marks the conclusion of our time as a FORCE11 Working Group, but not the end of COMET.
