Thank you, Laurent. Although the torch has been passed (or will have
been come 1 January, our symbolic transition date), the memory
muscle will keep siding with Truth, Justice, and The DITA Way. The
World Wide Web is still a rude place for intelligent content. Watch
this space.
Kristen has proven her ability to herd Technical Cats (isn't that
what the C in TC is for?) towards firm schedules. It's been a
delight to work with her.

Dear
Don and Kristen,
Don first: I hear you're stepping down after many years of
inspired chairmanship on the DITA TC. Thank you for helping make
DITA one of the important standards in the authoring world. In our
line of work it's easy to forget that what we do is
transformational: we get tired of those eyes glazing over when we
try to communicate our enthusiasm about standards and
interoperability, and why it matters so much. The truth remains
that without the tireless efforts of standards proponents, the
world would remain a Tower of Babel and very little would or even
could get done.
Kristen: thank you for stepping in and carrying the torch forward.
OASIS Staff deeply appreciates your commitment and what you've
already accomplished. Let us know how we can support you in
achieving even more.
With all of our gratitude,
