Re: Stepping down as a staff contact

Ivan,

There is nothing I can say that others have not already said, and better, so I'll just say ... thank you.  Enoy your much deserved relaxation in the VCWG 🙂

Ivan,

Out of the frying pan into the fire. You're a brave man ;-)

In all seriousness, you're a very good man. Thanks for all the help, and for sticking with us on the next leg of the journey.

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.

Ivan, your contributions are deeply appreciated--you have helped me and countless others learn the ropes of W3C WG participation, and I continue to be inspired by your ability to concentrate on the highest impact activities. Looking forward to seeing you around the VC WG and more generally. Thank you for everything you have done.

Hi Ivan,

I know how the staff contact work is hard, and more, it seems it was especially hard for this WG even from a member's point of view. Thank you very much for the support.


Hi Pierre-Antoine,
Looking forward to seeing you in Vancouver.

PS. to all:
I will late to come to Vancouver (arriving Tuesday night), so I can't attend DID WG meeting in person. Will attend VCWG meeting in person. Looking forward to seeing you all!

And of course, congrats on the DID core recommendation publication:)

Dear all,

now that the DID Core Recommendation has been published, I have also stepped down as a W3C team contact in the DID Working Group. Indeed, after some discussions with the chairs, the agreement was that it is better for all involved if I put my available brain cycles into the Verifiable Credentials Working Group, which has just started as a full-blown, bona fide Working Group. Pierre-Antoine Champin, who has been in this role with me since January, will be the (only) staff contact for the DID WG from now on.

It has been an intellectual challenge and a pleasure to be part of the DID Working Group. Thanks to all.

Ivan
