Dear All, with progress comes change. The JSDL working group produced a number of highly-acclaimed specifications, something which we owe not least to the chairs of the group. Unfortunately, all current chairs are, due to career changes, not able to continue leading the working group. I know that it is not possible to properly acknowledge their contribution here, but nevertheless: Thank you very much Andreas, Mark, and Stephen. Fortunately, we have people from the community who want to take the burden from our current chairs and help us continuing our work. Therefore I propose Michel Drescher from EGI.eu and Michael Saravo from University of Virginia to become the new chairs of the JSDL working group. Both of them are currently active in JSDL, have expertise and experience needed to take over the responsibility, and they want to invest their time to continue the work on JSDL. I would like to ask the current chairs to let us know in case you want to continue to chair the group. Please respond until Sunday, November 13, 2011, 23:59 UTC. I would also like to ask the group to provide your thoughts. On Monday, November 14, 2011, we will then formally propose the changes to the GFSG. Best regards, Philipp (JSDL secretary).
