RE: wg chair change

Dan and David,

Thanks for trusting me in this new "job". 
I will try to guide the WG "closer to the end" instead of
"just farther from the beginning" (Mike O'Dell). 

Let me start with thanking Dan for steering/guiding the WG over
those many years he was WG chair. Agreed that it would have been 
better if we would have been able to close the WG upon completing
the current set of documents. But over the years, the WG has delivered
quite a set of documents, and we owe Dan for leading us to those
results. We will try to follow in his footsteps and get the work
completed "soon".

More later,

Bert
