Jeremias,

Thanks for the work on such thankless tasks as this, and thanks for the
nomination.  I have expressed some scepticism about the direction the
Board is taking with TLPs, but it doesn't hurt to have a sceptic on the
PMC.  Like you, I'm sure, I don't particularly like administrative work,
but I'm honoured to be nominated.

I would urge new committers to consider indicating a preparedness (on or
off line) to participate in the PMC.  When I was first elected to the
XML PMC as a FOP rep, I was quite up-front about the appeal of
membership on my C.V., so don't be shy.

I would also like to see you on the PMC, is only because it is fair to
recognise the amount of effort you have put into bringing this TLP into
being.

If you want to bounce ideas about, or drafts of, the charter off me,
please do so.  I'll give what assistance I can.

Formally, my votes for membership of the XML Graphics PMC are:
Joerg Pietschmann +1
Glen Mazza        +1
Jeremias Maerki   +1 (conditional on his acceptance of nomination)

Peter
