And as someone else who has seen behind the scenes and helped out in the NOC several times, Jim's leadership in the NOC has drawn a great team of professionals that make the all magic occur. Someone has big shoes to fill.

Jim, thanks for the memories, best wishes for your future endeavors, and we will miss you.

I fully agree with Bob and would like to add my thanks as well. Having
seen a fair share of what goes on "behind the scenes" (literally and
figuratively) I have a great deal of respect for how Jim has handled
some very difficult (at times) "customers," including myself :-)

While never established formally as an education and training ground,
the NOC has been that and more, and now would be a great time to think
about ways in which we can continue to support this tradition.

I am sorry that I won't be in Prague to give Jim a proper "send-off,"
but I am sure he will be attending future IETFs where I can do that
in person.
