Hi Kushal,
 
about a year 
ago, you informed me that you're taking 
up
other responsibilities at IBM and won't be available 
much
any more for the Open Source DSDP-TM 
project.
 
Of course we had to accept this, but given 
that you have
a lot of insight on RSE and the underlying 
technology 
I had hoped that you'd keep in touch with 
the project and
be available for occasional questions and 
the like. So
I wanted that you keep your committer 
status on DSDP-TM.
 
Unfortunately, however, you have not 
joined any committer
meetings since, not been active on the 
newsgroup or mailing
list and - what's most important - not 
taken part in any 
elections that we held on the mailing 
list.
 
Taking part in elections is a very 
important part of your 
duties as committer, since failure to do 
so delays decisions
due to our charter. 
Based on our charter, which requires 
involvement and 
activity from committers, and based on 
the expressed 
wish of the EMO to keep 
committer lists 
active, I 
thus 
feel obliged to ask you  resign as committer 
on dsdp-tm. 
 
Would that be OK for you, or do you have any 
current /  
future plans for further work on 
dsdp-tm? If you think 
that
you might get avtive again soon, I'd be ok with 
keeping
your committer status under one precondition: that 
at
the very least you take part in elections on the list, 
at
least by voting "0" in time such that the votes are 
not
delayed.
 
Thanks,
--
