Hello, I sent this a moment ago to the W3C Membership on behalf of the Director. Ian Jacobs ====== I am pleased to announce the appointment of Peter Linss (HP) and Daniel Appelquist (Telefónica) as new participants and co-chairs of the W3C Technical Architecture Group. Peter brings to the TAG many years of experience with Web and related technologies, especially page layout, printing and rendering. He will continue as co-chair of the CSS working group. Daniel is respected worldwide for his expertise in mobile and Web technologies and had been active in the W3C since 2001, as an Advisory Committee representative, as a Working Group co-chair, and as an instigator of activities such as the Mobile Web Initiative. Both Daniel and Peter have prior experience on the TAG. This is an exciting time for the TAG. We have many new participants who play key roles in developing critical new Web technologies including HTML5 and Web Applications, and so we have a unique opportunity to reshape the TAG's focus. Our new chairs will have the opportunity to help the TAG plan and deliver this important work. Noah Mendelsohn has been a member of the TAG since 2004 and the co-chair since early 2009. Although Noah's term would have run for a few more months, he and I agree that making this change now will give our new chairs an opportunity to engage with the TAG before the priorities for our next round of work are set. He has kindly volunteered to resign his position early to free space for the new appointees, and also to volunteer his time in the coming months to assist them and the TAG during the transition. I want to thank Noah for his many years of service to the TAG and to the W3C. These changes will become official on 1 June. The TAG will be meeting 29-31 May. Our new chairs will join us, along with Noah, and we expect that this will be an exciting opportunity to start this new phase of the TAG's work. -- Ian Jacobs <ij@w3.org> http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel: +1 718 260 9447
