Stepping down

I wanted you all to know that I’m stepping down as HTML Working Group co-chair,  effective immediately.  After being in my new role at Microsoft for a while, it’s become clear that my new job focus aligns better with some of the other facets of the open web platform. The IE team has been ramping up more resources here in the HTML WG, so I’m going to be spending personally a lot more time focused on the programmability and API side of the web platform.  I’m looking forward to seeing some of you over in the Web Applications WG, and likely the Device API and Policy WG as well.

I want to thank you all for the experience; I’ve met some great people, made some great friends and learned a lot about the challenges of chairing :).  The W3C leadership will be sending shortly another email to explain how the HTML WG leadership will be evolving.
