[Subir Das <subir@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Colleagues,

After serving as Vice Chair for last two years and participating in IEEE 
802.21 from the inception, I believe that I have the knowledge and 
skills to help advance the group as a Chair and therefore I would like 
to announce my candidacy for the position. I also take the opportunity 
to share my thoughts with you all in the attached document.  

My affiliation is:

Telcordia Technologies Inc.
One Telcordia Drive
Piscataway, NJ, 08854
Tel: 732 699 2483
Fax: 732 336 7026

I am eager to hear your thoughts, ideas and suggestions so that we can 
work together and make a difference.

regards,
-Subir Das
