Re: Introducing myself and a chair selection process

Hello Segami-san,

Welcome to the CG!

I’m glad that the CG has the Broadband Association as its member, which is one of the dynamos of the movement to apply modern open standards [1] to various industries in Japan.

Wow! Thank you very much for nominating me as a co-chiar. I think I can help the CG get an early win if I work with expert(s) on IT application in agriculture.

So I’d like to nominate Kiura-san as a co-chair. I’ve already seen Kiura-san in various meetings on this area and am sure his expertise in the area is essential, effective, and efficient for us to achieve the initial goal in the charter.

Regards,
Yosuke

I've been co-chairing the Web and TV IG and the Web and Broadcasting BG, while, at the same time, contributing to other groups as the Web Media Specialist. I'm not an expert of the agricultural industry but have expertise on running groups through interaction with industry stakeholders to make good use of the Web standard and foster its further development. Currently, I'm interested in involving a couple of new industries into the Web standardization; Agriculture is the top most area among them. I promise to do all I can for to make the group as effective and enjoyable as it can be.

I'd like to suggest we take an open process to do it: anybody in the CG can nominate any number of people including oneself on this ML by the end of January 30 (Boston time.) If we get less than four co-chairs, all of the nominated people will be co-chairs. Otherwise, we'll talk about what we should do: vote to reduce the number of co-chairs or just keep all nominated people as co-chairs. If you have any questions or thoughts about this process, please let me know.
