(I probably owe the list a longer explanation) Pragmatically, I now have to put myself and my health first. This means not taking on any commitments which require typing. I've worked with Jochen for many years, and respect him both as a developer and a quiet leader. I would love to see Jochen nominated as Chair but (sadly) I'm unclear whether Jochen would be able to accept. Generally, IMO the best PMC chairs are quiet, strategy thinkers; who respond quickly to issues on the private lists and take care of reports but aren't burned out by pushing the code or the public lists forward. So, I think Ross or Gavin would be much better choices than myself. Robert
