RE: [office-accessibility] Moving On

Sorry for my ignorance -- I may have missed an notification. Is there a conference call scheduled for tomorrow? If so, has the agenda been created? I may have a conflict, but I think I can work around it.

 

Thanks,

 

Mike

Subject: [office-accessibility] Moving On

As most of you have surmised by now, 
especially after my mental lapse over last week's meeting, I am simply too 
overloaded at this point to continue as chair of this subcommittee.  It has 
been a pleasure getting to know you and to work with you in getting this effort 
up and running.  Our success so far gives me tremendous confidence in the 
future potential of this group to drive advancement of the state of the art in 
accessible office software. 

I will 
still be available to chair this week's meeting, where I suggest that topic #1 
should be replacing me as chair.  Peter Korn and Rich Schwerdfeder have 
volunteered to serve as co-chairs, and I know they would do a fine job. If 
anyone else wants to volunteer and turn this into an actual election, please do 
so as soon as possible.   

I 
continue to believe strongly that the ODF initiative represents an opportunity, 
not a threat, for software accessibility, and I know that this group will make 
the most of the opportunity.  -- Nathaniel
