Mmm. That's what I call a kick in the groin, giving me less than a
week to go from a private announcement "you are going to be replaced",
to a public one, not even letting me announce it to the list myself to
the working gorup i chair.

And all this just as I had pursuaded my manager to realize what kind
of resources this will take, and allow me spend 1 working day/week
with IETF related work (which I was actually promised when I started
here, but which hasn't happend due to general downfall of the Internet
business, and other reality-related issues), and to the fact that we
ended up tied up in a development contract with the national Swedish
TLD domain name holder, and various operational contracts. No we're
out of the .SE TLD development contracts, and we've hired more
operational staff, and things have taken a turn in the right
direction.

So consider this my last-minute announcement to the effect that I will
continue to candidate as chair this working group if you want to have
me. I will of course step down, if there are voices for my
resignation.

I'll open up an agenda point for the floor at the IETF meeting, so you
can make your voices heard.
