Re: exiting the working group

I agree this is sad because Peter has put tremendous effort into this WG 
but unfortunately the W3C has strict rules about who can be granted 
invited expert status and in this case - where a company decides not to 
renew its membership - it is a big NO-NO. :-(

I guess they don't want member organizations to think there is no 
consequences to discontinuing their membership because their reps will be 
able to continue to participate for free as IE.

Sad to hear.. Would it be possible to keep you as invited expert [1]?

Betreff: exiting the working group 

As I mentioned on the working group call yesterday my membership in the
working group will terminate at the end of June as part of the termination 
of
the membership of Nuance Communications in W3C.
