<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Other than this last event the list has been well run by Russ and very polite the short period I've been here. I was pretty surprised that it happened.

<DIV>I thank Russ for all his hard work over the years, and trust that this new arrangement will allow him to better focus his efforts on license-review.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>I agree that we all have some work to do in order to better support the new direction, and welcome other suggestions you may have. I am already in discussion with Chris about his suspension, to determine the best way for all of us to move forward.</DIV>
