[address-policy-wg] WG chair change

Hi AP-WG members,

In the interest of easing consensus in the address policy community, I would like to withdraw my candidacy for WG chair.  I strongly encourage everyone to support Erik as the future WG chair based on the significant work he has done for the community over the last several years.  I have complete confidence in his stewardship of the group in the future.  Thank you.
