Passing the baton - I’m leaving the post of WEBRTC chair

Hello folks,
It’s been a long time - I’ve been chairing this group since it was 
created on March 15, 2011. That’s 13 and a half years - more time than 
I’ve spent in any other role.

It’s been a joy to see WebRTC grow from an idea to a fully fledged API 
specification as a result of the work of this group - to see the 
maturation from “idea” to the most widely deployed realtime video API in 
human history, supporting the collaborative work of many millions of 
people every singe day, bringing the vision of the connecting Web into 
reality.

There have been high points and low points - strong disagreements and 
moments of smooth consensus - but all along, the strong commitment of 
the WG members to bringing about this revolution in human communication 
has been the thing that carried us forward.

I’ll not be leaving WEBRTC - I’ll be active as a document editor, 
debater and argument contributor - but it will be my pleasure to support 
Guido Urdaneta as a new working group chair, and contributing to the 
work of the working group for a long time to come.

We changed the world - let’s continue to do so!


Harald
