Dear EC Members,
Last Friday Carl Stevenson informed me he was resigning as 802.22 WG Chair because he wasn't able to devote sufficient time and resources to continue in that role going forward. As a result of Carl's resignation, I appointed Gerald Chouinard, the 802.22 WG Vice-Chair to fill the WG Chair position in an 'Acting' capacity until the end of the July plenary session. I expect the WG to hold a chair election in July with the EC considering confirmation of the elected individual at the closing EC meeting.
Note: per the 802 P&P in an 'acting' WG chair capacity, Gerald has all the rights and responsibilities of a WG chair, except he cannot vote on EC matters. James--please put Gerald on the EC reflector. Dawn--please make a note of this change for your July plenary session planning.
Thank you Carl for your service to 802 over the past many years, 1st as 802.18 TAG chair and then 802.22 WG chair. I also thank Gerald for agreeing to fill the Acting WG Chair position.
Regards,
---Paul
