Hi Everyone,

The chairs feel strongly that we should have more than one editor. I  
personally think Ian can do a fine job by himself, but I don't want  
debate on this point to hold up work. Given this, I nominate Dave  
Hyatt to be co-editor with Ian.

I think Dave is well-qualified to be co-editor:

- Has done architecture-level work on the internals of two browser  
engines, WebKit and Gecko
- Has worked on multiple browsers based on these engines: Safari,  
Mozilla, Firefox and Camino
- Long experience with the W3C standards process, particularly in the  
CSS Working Group
- Track record of collaborating well with Ian
- Track record of working well with others in general and mediating  
disputes in standards groups.

Even though Dave's schedule is busy, he has said he's willing to do  
it, and Ian told me he is happy to work with Dave.

I would appreciate prompt feedback from the chairs and anyone else  
interested in the editorship.

Regards,
Maciej
