[cooperation-wg] cooperation-wg Digest, Vol 54, Issue 6

Dear all,

I would like to echo the sentiments by Gordon and Julf. It is a great loss
for the cooperation WG that Meredith has decided to step down, and I hope
she reconsiders. I cannot speak for the group, but I want to say that her
enthusiasm, experience and dedication will be sorely missed. Something we
will all realize soon enough. The same holds for Collin's efforts and
support to the WG.

I hope the remaining candidates are not scared away by what seems to be
politics with a very very tiny 'p', that have colored the discussions and
going-ons of late in this WG. I also believe that we should move swiftly in
putting in place new (co) chairs, and I support Gordon's suggestions on how
to move forward.

Best,

Corinne Cath
