Thanks Ray, you will indeed be missed. You took the job when the IETF was in a delicate situation in time. You shaped the IAD, did ensure the actions where based on rough consensus in the community while staying within whatever real world constraints (budget, staff and what not) that exists. Contracts here, contracts there. Travel logistics. Trains and airplanes. Hotels and restaurants. Local jurisdictions. IANA transitions and many other issues.
But in the core are humans. And you have an incredible ability to never ever forget the humans.
Hold on to that!
What Patrik said (better than I could have said it).
Thank you.
Spencer
Best,
