Re: Chair Elections - Call for Candidates

It seems to me that the candidates are self-nominated ("Participants
announce their candidacies") but if I can, I'd like to nominate Dmitri
Zagidulin for chair.

Dmitri has done an exceptional job chairing this group through a really
difficult reboot. During his chairship, we've published 3 reports,
organized at two TPACs, launched many (10?) task forces, held regular
meetings, created a charter and re-launched the WG. He's always good at
soliciting input from everyone in the group, keeping us connected to other
CGs, and keeping a cool head when topics get heated. I think he's done a
lot, but I hope he will continue in the role.
