Announcing a new co-Chair for the Second Screen WG

Hi Second Screen WG,
FYI Second Screen CG,

I'm delighted to announce that the long-time active participant Louay Bassbouss from Fraunhofer FOKUS joins me as a co-Chair of the Second Screen Working Group.

Many of you have met Louay at our TPAC meetings or at group F2Fs Louay has kindly hosted at Fraunhofer FOKUS HQ in Berlin. Louay has extensive experience in multiscreen applications, related technologies and standards. In addition to his web standards contributions, Louay is familiar with the broadcasting community where he works to harmonize the broadcast and broadband delivery of entertainment services among other efforts.

Louay's expertise and connections will be particularly helpful in ensuring the Open Screen Protocol gets the adequate attention of diverse stakeholders who work on products such as connected TVs, set-top boxes and other multiscreen devices.

I'll continue work with Louay to help the WG make progress and move its deliverables along the Recommendation Track.

Given close coordination of the Second Screen WG and Second Screen CG, I've asked Louay to also join me as a co-Chair of the Second Screen Community Group that incubates new web proposals in this space. I'll follow up with that separately with the CG.

Please join me in welcoming Louay into his new role!

Thanks,

-Anssi (Second Screen WG co-Chair)
