Dear Bill,
Thank you for all of your work. I think you were an icon of digital
publishing. Keep in touch!

> It’s truly been a privilege to have had the opportunity to help get
> Publishing@W3C rolling over the past 18 months since the combination of
> IDPF into W3C. I’m more convinced than ever that this was the right
> decision, as evidenced by the high level of engagement and activity in the
> new Publishing Business Group, Publishing Working Group and its Steering
> Committee, and the EPUB 3 Community Group. A dedicated "champion" role was
> always understood to likely be transitional in nature as W3C is by design
> participant-driven … and that is powerfully evidenced in these groups which
> all have strong co-chairs / task-force leads in place. So I’m confident
> that Publishing@W3C will continue to grow and thrive and I thank the
> co-chairs, the former IDPF Board of Directors, Ivan, Karen, and all who are
> engaged in these activities for your collective support.

> The strategic thesis on which we predicated the combination of IDPF with
> W3C was that the future of publishing is inextricably connected with the
> Open Web Platform and that the publishing ecosystem must therefore seek to
> directly influence the evolution of Web technology. The efforts and
> progress over the past year and a half has underscored this. But to make it
> so will require the continued engagement from the publishing community. I
> particularly urge former IDPF members to strongly consider planning to
> become regular W3C members when the TPI program winds down next February.

>
> For me, after 8+ years focusing on advancing open standards at IDPF and
> W3C I’m aiming to get back to my entrepreneurial/intrapreneurial and
> product development roots. Please stay in touch and meanwhile you will
> continue to see me lurking in the EPUB 3 CG, at digital publishing email
> and twitter water coolers, and who knows maybe even as an AC rep someday.
