Hi all
        
        
        Ian Craggs has been a key member of the Paho team since the
          project was established, and through the recent 1.0 release
          Ian was the committer who "made things happen", authoring the
          release proposal and plan as well as personally maintaining
          some of the clients and making fixes across the code base.
        
        
        In short, Ian is an excellent example of someone who has
          taken a leading role in the project and we would like to
          propose that he be elected one of the project leads on Paho.
        
        
        
          However, Dave and I already "co-lead" the Paho project and
          have discussed how best to go forward. Given that Dave and Ian
          work for the same sponsor organisation, Dave has suggested
          that he steps back to allow Ian to take the lead. For my part,
          I expect my ability to contribute to be reduced given my
          recent job change, but I'm happy to stay on to support Ian and
          help to provide some balance where appropriate.
        
        
        So:
        - any comments or questions?
        - Committers, please indicate whether you are happy with
          this proposal.
        
        
        Thanks!
        
        
        Also: a personal THANK YOU to the entire team of
          committers, leads, and most importantly the community
          contributors for making the 1.0 release happen. We do
          recognise that this is a team effort and we appreciate the
          community "keeping us honest" with your code contributions and
          testing :-)
