(a) Thanks for the kind words, but I'm not interested in being sole chair. (b) 165 group participants have jumped thru various hoops to join this WG, so far; I consider each of those to be a vote, of sorts, in favor of you as co-chair, Chris. http://www.w3.org/2000/09/dbwg/details?group=40318&public=1 I appreciate that the start-up phase of this Working Group is frustrating, but I ask, again, that people bear with us as we sort things out. Oh... and (c) thanks for the update on your situation, Chris. You had told me as much, but I wasn't sure how much I was at liberty to share with the rest of the group (and, via the archives, the world...). -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
