Resigning as chair, choosing a chair

Hi all,

Some of you have indicated they would like to see the group elect the new chair through a more formal process than that through which I found myself becoming the chair (see [1]). This seems more than reasonable and, in fact, I myself wasn’t quite sure as to how exactly I was made chair.

So, I hereby resign as the temporary chair and invite everyone to publicly and formally propose a new chair! Please nominate the person you would want as chair of this group or apply for the position of chair yourselves. Obviously I’d be happy to continue chairing the group with the goal of getting to WebID 1.0 as per [3] - my own application is implied - but I’m very aware that some of you are immensely more qualified for the job than I am.

I’ve looked around for any indication of a suggested process for choosing a chair but couldn’t find anything specific (see [2]) - hopefully this thread is formal and public enough for the purpose.

Best,
Jacopo.
