Re: Joshue O Connor steps down as co-chair of the Accessible Guidelines Working Group

Dear all,

Many thanks for the kind words. I am very proud to have been able to 
work/serve with you all on such an important standard. I'm also equally 
happy that under my tenure I didn't seem to seriously break anything.

I'm taking a pause after ~ 10 years flying the flag for a11y at W3C for 
a while, to reset and catch up with modal guitar playing etc within the 
confines of that ever elusive willo-the-wisp that is our spare time.

While I'm tempted to say 'So long and thanks for all the fish' it may be 
more accurate to paraphrase L Cohen that I may come back to the war at 
some stage. I'm happy to know that things are in good hands under 
Andrew, Michael and Alastair's watch - stalwarts all.

I wish ye all the best

Josh
