Hi group, Two transitions: 1. Ian has expressed a desire to step-down as editor, and Silvia has indicated a willingness to take over the role. I hope everyone is with me in -- 1a. Thanking Ian profusely for having started the VTT effort and shaped and edited it thus far. It's really important. 1b. Thanking Silvia for volunteering to step up. If you have any concerns, alternative candidates, or the like, about this transition, please communicate with me and I'll weigh them and try to address them. I think Silvia will do a fine job, and her link to the HTML5 effort will help also. 2. We're getting close to a specification which looks pretty stable, and is 'feature complete' and implemented enough that we think we might have teased out the more obvious gotchas. Various people in the industry would like a 'stable reference' in addition to the cutting-edge draft. The community group process has a tool for this, called the 'Final Spec. Agreement (FSA)' (see <http://www.w3.org/community/about/agreements/>, which is actually the process document). Signing this gives us both a stable reference at a stable URL, and also IPR commitments from those who sign. I think it would be good to do an FSA fairly soon. If members of the group could look at the process and the FSA with a view to understanding it, and being prepared to sign, that would be great. Thanks, and onwards to ever better accessibility!
