Re: Stepping down as a staff contact

It's acceptable to contribute to a noisy thread in this one case, which is
heaping praise onto Ivan.

Ivan, you've done remarkable work in so many places, such as the CCG.
You've helped launch the foundations enabling decentralized identity
interoperability, and I hope you know how valued your contributions are.
Very glad we will receive the benefit of your attention and wisdom in VCWG.
