RE: [RPRWG] Wanted: Webmaster 802.17 (lousy pay, decent hours, great colleagu es)
I would like to echo that as well. There have been numerous times
when I've asked John to stand by for emergency postings of drafts,
comments, notices, etc. (Given the time zone difference, some of
these instances have entailed his staying up until 2 AM in the
morning!) There have also been occasions when he made a diving catch
to get stuff out on time. Thanks, John!

John,
I don't want to scare someone away from volunteering for this job,
but I have to thank John profusely for the incredible job that
he has done in both keeping our website whole and hearty. Describing
this work as substancial is definely not overselling the job.
Web-mastering is a behind the scenes job, but a key one. John has been
fantastic in helping meetings run smoothly and for allowing
the external world to follow what we are doing via the web-site.
I can't thank John enough for his dedication to making RPR
a sucess, from his work behind the scenes on the web-site, helping
to drive the Alliance and his calm presence at WG meetings
reminding us that marketing people can actually make sense :-)
cheers,
mike
