Shadi, You're going to be missed, there's no doubt about it. You've done an extraordinary amount for the W3C, and your expertise will be missed - especially your knowledge of the EU, its standards and funding structures. Wishing you the very best for wherever your adventures take you next (and I trust that whichever tech company it is, they know how fortunate they are to have you join their team). Léonie.
