Dear group, As you all know I work at W3C under the W3C Fellows program [1]. I'm employed by the CTIC Foundation (Spain) but spend 80% of my time working as W3C eGovernment Lead. My Fellowship is coming to an end before the end of September, a few months earlier than originally planned. CTIC needs more of time. This is in part due to the success of this group. I'll be managing eGov projects at CTIC (for various governments in Spain as a start) that have much to do with Open Government Data and other topics we are working on. I'm very grateful to CTIC for allowing me to do this job for 2.5 years and W3C for being such a great place to work. I have enjoyed this job so much that words cannot describe. It also allowed me to meet many many amazing people in many countries, including you all. Chairs and me have been working with W3C Management for the last several weeks on the transition. It has been decided that my colleague Sandro Hawke [2] will be the new W3C eGov Staff Contact and that a one year charter to the Advisory Committee will be proposed. I also expect to stay involved in W3C eGov work appointed as the third co-Chair of the group. Proposed charter [3] has been changed accordingly. We are still working on the transition and expect it'll finally happen sometime before the end of September. Sandro has already joined the group and he's taking gradually on my responsibilities. I let Sandro introduce himself in a separate message. Cheers, Jose.
