Re: Ashley Abaragu appointed Chair of the WAI Interest Group; Charter extended until 2024-12-31

Congratulations, and more importantly thank you Ashley, for taking on this 
task, and thank you to Katie for her years of service in the role.

Happily, this group is not full of poor behaviour that makes a chair's life 
a miserable grind. Accepting the responsibility of keeping it that way is a 
service to the community and deserves our thanks. 

As one of the premier fora for web accessibility discussions, and a "place" 
that has gathered and provided a wealth of real-world experience and 
guidance for over a quarter of a century, I hope the strong community of 
participants will support you and make it easy for WAI IG to continue being 
all that.

cheers
