Kudos to you Harald! Although I joined a bit late, it has been enjoying and very rewarding as a learning experience watching the great effort by everyone and as you put it, growth of the organization. Thank you!

I'm stepping down as IETF chair in March, and I am not a candidate for reappointment. It's been a great four years, containing lots of learning experience, lots of hard work and lots of joy - but after four years as IETF chair, and ten years total on the IESG/IAB, March seems an appropriate time for me to leave this stage of my life behind. The IETF is a great organization. I will enjoy watching it continue to grow and prosper under new leadership. Thank you!
