Art steps down - thank you for everything

Hi folks,

as you may have noticed, Art has resigned as a co-chair of the Web  
Platform group. He began chairing the Web Application Formats group about  
a decade ago, became the leading co-chair when it merged with Web APIs to  
become the Web Apps working group, and was instrumental in making the  
transition from Web Apps to the Web Platform Group. (He also chaired  
various other W3C groups in that time).

I've been very privileged to work with Art on the webapps group for so  
many years - as many of you know, without him it would have been a much  
poorer group, and run much less smoothly. He did a great deal of work for  
the group throughout his time as co-chair, efficiently, reliably, and  
quietly.

Now we are three co-chairs, we will work between us to fill Art's shoes.  
It won't be easy.

Thanks Art for everything you've done for the group for so long.

Good luck, and I hope to see you around.

Chaals
