Re: Stepping down from editor roles

Echoing what both Mike's said, I'm sad to hear about this, and hope you the absolute best of luck going forward.

Like Mike P., I’m very sad to not be working with you on this anymore day-to-day, Gabe.  I’ve very much enjoyed our collaboration and appreciated your practical perspectives on the problems we faced together.  I also appreciated your willingness to roll up your sleeves and get things done.



I likewise hope our paths cross soon again.  Best wishes for the new role!



                                                                Take care,

                                                                -- Mike

Gabe,

Very sorry to hear this. I really enjoyed working with you, and am eternally grateful to the support you and others put in on various work items when I had to step away for family reasons.



I hope to be able to work with you in the future, and I am very confident that your new role will be wildly successful!

Hi everyone,



I wanted to share that I'll be stepping down from my role as Editor for the VC Working Group. Due to a recent job change, I won't be able to continue dedicating the time needed to properly serve in this position.



It's been such a privilege to work with this group on developing the VC specifications. Through our tough discussions, debates, and decisions, I've learned invaluable lessons about working collaboratively, especially when opinions differ. The insights I've gained from all of you have made me a better technologist and collaborator. For that I'm grateful.



I will work with Brent and Mike to ensure a smooth transition for the VC JSON Schema and VC JOSE COSE work items.



It's been a great experience working with all of you, and I'm certain our paths will cross again soon.



Best wishes,

Gabe
