RDWG Chair

Hi everyone,

If you were not on the telecon today, I just wanted to let you know that due to additional 
work commitments I wont be able to continue on as Chair of the RDWG; and so I've decided 
to step down.

I've really enjoyed my time as Chair and had previously been very vocal about getting the 
group started up again after the RDIG became dormant. Thanks to Shadi and Judy for 
allowing that to happen!

But, now it's time to hand over to other people and there will hopefully be 2 co-chairs to 
ease the administrative burden.

I feel proud of the work that we have accomplished so far and the eight or so symposia we 
have run. The most pressing work for my successors will be making sure the notes are now 
published, and by doing this I believe that more people be attracted to participate.

I still intend to participate as much as possible, so I wont be leaving, and you'll still 
see me about.

I also want to thank Shadi, and everyone in the RDWG for making my Chairing job such a 
smooth experience.

Next week's call will be my last as chair, we will then have a two week Christmas break 
and resume on Jan 07th; with hopefully new chairs.

Cheers
Si
