Re: Resigning as chair, choosing a chair

Hello Sarven!

> What I've raised in https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webid/2023Nov/0146.html was a matter of having some sense of a process, and if anything but to have things on public record. It is a call for clarity, not objection.

That is how I have interpreted it, too, and even more so in light of Kingsley’s request, which was also echoed by a couple others privately. Not that I would have had any issue whatsoever had it been an objection. As I’ve stated multiple times, I’m happy to chair as long as the group is happy to have me.

Although I understand this is meant in jest, at least in part, I also feel it is a little uncharitable. I am experimenting with unorthodox approaches, that’s for sure, but I’ve been very very careful in being as transparent and as open to feedback as I can.

> I can see your enthusiasm and good intentions, and if this is the path you choose, I wish you luck and patience. It can be both exhausting and exhilarating.

I very much appreciate the honest words encouragement and I am happy that I appear to be coming across as, at least, good intentioned. I can build on that :)
