Re: Stepping down as a staff contact

I will admit to a brief moment of panic when seeing the subject line of
this email. It was assuaged upon reading that Ivan is stepping down as
staff contact for DID WG, which is indeed expected, but continuing for
VCWG, which was hoped.

Working with Ivan has been an absolute pleasure, from my position as DID WG
chair I want to thank him for the work he put into that group. As VCWG
chair, I want to say how much I look forward to continuing to work with him.
