Upcoming co-chair vacancy for the UBL Technical Committee

["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@CraneSoftwrights.com>]

Fellow UBL TC members,

With the new OASIS process vitality test for TCs discussed on 
Wednesday's call, and the requirement now for the TC to review the 
technical committee charter and re-appoint the TC chairs, I have been 
reflecting on my continuing contribution to the committee.

Due to health and family reasons, I have decided not to put myself 
forward to be re-appointed a co-chair of the UBL TC after our TC 
charter has been reviewed in the new year.

Of course I always will be an ambassador for the UBL TC as "former 
chair" when I travel to conferences and correspond with members of 
our community. And for the next number of months I will continue to 
participate actively on the committee. After my active participation 
wanes, I will remain a member of the TC indefinitely for consultation 
and continuity, but I will drop my voting status and my regular attendance.

I thank Kenneth for more than ably taking the reins of the committee 
this past while. He performs so very well as committee maestro that 
it makes me jealous.

And I thank you all for all of the support you have provided me in my 
role over the years. Of course I thank founding chair Jon Bosak for 
approaching me at an XML conference in Silicon Valley somewhere 
around 2002/2003 and asking me to get involved in the TC. It has been 
a wonderful ride year in and year out.

Very sincerely to my TC friends and colleagues,

. . . . . . Ken
