Thank you Art. You carried out this group and community over so many years.
Your first email to the AC was entitled "Just say NO?" as a response to a proposal from W3C. It will take a while for me to realize you won't be standing and come to the microphone to challenge us as you used to do for so many years.

Hi folks, as you may have noticed, Art has resigned as a co-chair of the Web Platform group. He began chairing the Web Application Formats group about a decade ago, became the leading co-chair when it merged with Web APIs to become the Web Apps working group, and was instrumental in making the transition from Web Apps to the Web Platform Group. (He also chaired various other W3C groups in that time). I've been very privileged to work with Art on the webapps group for so many years - as many of you know, without him it would have been a much poorer group, and run much less smoothly. He did a great deal of work for the group throughout his time as co-chair, efficiently, reliably, and quietly. Now we are three co-chairs, we will work between us to fill Art's shoes. It won't be easy. Thanks Art for everything you've done for the group for so long. Good luck, and I hope to see you around. Chaals
