It's been a pleasure collaborating with you in this area, and you'll be missed. I wish you all the best in whatever adventures lie ahead for you.

As I understand it, TC37 (Christian with help from Håvard as needed) will assume the chair (we were always supposed to rotate but haven't for a very long time). John Zagas in my office ([log in to unmask]) will be working on ISO 639-2 in my absence and will be the main person to contact about it. I have added him to the ISOJAC list and JACVOTE lists. This will be temporary until the new maintenance process for standards as database is available. I will be doing some consulting with LC in the future, so may continue to have some involvement in this effort. I have really enjoyed working with all of you over so many years. Rebecca Rebecca S.
