All,
you will note on tonight's agenda a line item for nominations and election of new chair. I am retiring from IBM effective June 9th so June 7th will be my last SDD telecon. IBM will be recommending and nominating Brent Miller, from IBM's Autonomic Computing Architecture team as a new chair for the TC. Brent has has extensive experience in standards participating in several standards committees including chairing committees in OSGi, UPNP Forum, and Bluetooth SIG. Having worked in IBM's Autonomic Computing organization for a number of years, Brent is quite familiar with the work of the SDD and has the wholehearted support of the IBM team and others in the TC. I hope you join me in our support of Brent as new chair, should he be elected.

I have enjoyed organizing and participating in the TC. This has been one of the most cohesive standards committees I have ever participated in and I appreciate all the hard work and dedication each of you have shown in this committee.

Thank you,
Tom
