RE: Canceling Social IG Jan 7th meeting - call for a new chair!

Ann,

SAP has decided to focus our standardization efforts on cloud and internet of things in 2015 and has reallocated our W3C resources elsewhere. I continue to push for additional resources for W3C activities but at the moment our membership has expired.

Best Regards

Oh no, that's horrible news!  Darn, what a loss.  Mark -- I hope it's not complications with your shoulder.

I will volunteer,** IF ** one other person will co-chair with me. I just today accepted what will be a high-pressure new role in Boeing, so cannot commit to being chair all by myself.  C'mon, one of you -- we can do it together!

Everyone,

Mark Crawford is stepping down as chair, and so we'll need a new chair ideally two co-chairs ASAP.

 I'd like to give us 2 weeks to find a new chair before our next meeting, since the agenda on the wiki seems pretty open, so I'd like to consider canceling the meeting tomorrow (7th) and reconvening after we select a new chair.

The general requirement for chairing is the responsibility to host the meetings regularly, keep up with mailing list traffic, and be an employee of a W3C member.

Any volunteers?

Feel free to mail me offlist and happy to do a teleconference.

  cheers,
       harry
