Re: TPE published as Candidate Recommendation/Stepping down as Co-Chair

Congrats to all involved for advancing the TPE to Candidate Recommendation!

And now for the sad news (at least from my perspective):  I have stepped down from my position as co-Chair of the Working Group.  After leaving CDT earlier this summer, I agreed to stay on temporarily at the request of W3C.  However, I recently accepted a position with the Federal Trade Commission, and I don't think I can be an effective chair for W3C while working at a government agency.  (FYI, these views are my own and not necessarily those of the FTC.)

I have enjoyed getting the chance to work with you all on these challenging and important issues, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with you all in some different capacity in the future.  Take care, and please look me up if you happen to be in DC.

Best of luck to the Working Group going forward!

Hi TPWG,

TPE has been published as a Candidate Recommendation:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/CR-tracking-dnt-20150820/

Good work, and special thanks to editors Roy Fielding and David Singer.

Public news item has been posted on w3.org:
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4936

And Wendy has blogged about it:

Our next steps on this deliverable: 1) go implement the TPE!, and 2) gather implementation experience. We have a separate product in Tracker to track implementations*, but we can start with just sharing information on the mailing list. We may want to consider automated test suites (where possible) or questionnaires to manually check implementations of features.

Thanks,
Nick
