Hi Eric,

In case a formal request is preferred, please consider this email as my 
application to take on the editor role for the LWS Protocol specification.

 From day one, I have been dedicated as an editor, tirelessly improving 
specifications to benefit the community. This work is both my passion 
and life's commitment.

I have contributed directly to the Solid CG as lead editor and author of 
key documents, including the Solid Protocol, Web Access Control, Solid 
QA, and the Solid Notifications Protocol, which were instrumental in 
chartering the Linked Web Storage Working Group. During my four years as 
chair, I prioritised community needs, built consensus around conflicting 
interests, and maintained fairness throughout.

I ensured group decisions were accurately reflected, with clear 
changelogs, rigorous issue tracking, and consistent integration of 
feedback, demonstrating my commitment to collective decisions, even when 
they diverged from personal preferences.

Beyond my editorial work, I bring decades of experience with web 
architecture, protocols, and implementation-driven specification 
development, ensuring that the work remains technically robust and meets 
diverse community needs.

I have worked in for-profit organisations, advising engineering and 
executive teams on specifications, and as an open-source developer and 
academic researcher (PhD). I have implemented various specifications 
outlined in the LWS WG charter across diverse product classes, including 
servers, clients, and applications, and have helped others navigate 
these specifications, often extending to web architecture principles.

I actively use the tools derived from the documents I've contributed to 
since 2015 (MIT) in the Solid ecosystem. My personal website, 
open-source projects (e.g., https://dokie.li/ ), and Solid Technical 
Reports reflect my commitment to both the user and implementer perspectives.

My involvement extends to other W3C WGs, including Web Annotations, 
Social Web, and Government Linked Data, where I served as editor and 
author of Linked Data Notifications and Embedding Web Annotations in 
HTML specifications.

I am committed to continuing the evolution of the LWS Protocol 
specification and successfully seeing it through in this working group. 
Please let me know if you require any additional information to assess 
my qualifications and contributions as an editor or my ability to work 
with the community in accordance with W3C processes. I can also provide 
references from colleagues and collaborators who can speak to my 
contributions and approach to specification work.

Thank you for your consideration.
