Re: Introducing our new W3C CCG Co-Chair

Congrats, Denken, and welcome as Co-Chair!  Thanks, Will, for the kind
note.  It’s been a great experience serving as Chair, and I’m looking
forward to staying involved.

I hope everyone has a great Holiday and New Years. See everyone in January
🙂

Sincerely,

*Harrison Tang*
