Re: [STDS-802-16] 802.16 Vice Chair
Ken,
Thanks for your outstanding service to the WG. I've really
appreciated your leadership, both as Vice Chair and as Chair of the
Maintenance and Conformance Task Groups before that. We'll look
forward to you continued participation in whatever capacity you find
appropriate.
Regards,
Roger
