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 :-)
