<p>Dear all,</p>
<p>Last week I got the personal statement for the IC Chair position
from one candidate; Markus Bradke, please find it enclosed. Most
of us know Markus and I am sure he will do a great job as IC Chair
if you find no objection to his selection.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Please use the email list or an email to me to state your support
or concern for this candidate as Chair. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I have not organized any voting since its just one candidate and
in the interest of expediency.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Until the next GB meeting that will ratify this appointment (if
supported by you the members) Markus will be the "acting Chair"
and I will resign as IC Chair immediately. I will remain as an IC
ex-officio member as the RINEX WG Chair, and I will support the
acting Chair as much or as little as he needs.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Sorry for leaving a number of issues and actions yet unresolved.
It has been a tricky period, but together with Markus I can
support in closing the open issues as needed. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>So please let me know how you feel about this candidate for
Chair, I fully support him and I am grateful to have such a high
quality successor . Thanks to all for your time.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
