Dave, Working Group, We would like to thank Dave for chairing grow for such a long time. Dave has contributed a lot to the ops area and I am glad that he will stay an active IETF participant.
As for the future of grow, the current chairs and the ADs have decided that we will continue for now with Geoff Huston as the chairperson. It is our intent to find a new cochair for Geoff using the process that we have used earlier in the dnsop working group. We wrote a profile for what we wanted to see in the person who would take on this task, ask for nominations within a reasonable timeframe, interview the candidates that fit the profile best and make a selection. However, our attention is going to be first on some other IESG tasks that are on our plate and need to completed as well (for example using the same procedure to find new chairpeople for mboned). Geoff has told us that he has no problem to serve as a single chairperson in the mean time. Please let us know if you have any concerns or comments, David Kessens & Bert Wijnen --- On Wed, Jan 04, 2006 at 02:18:17PM -0800, David Meyer wrote: > > After however many years its been, I've decided to stand > down as GROW co-chair.
