Hi AP-WG members, In the interest of easing consensus in the address policy community, I would like to withdraw my candidacy for WG chair. I strongly encourage everyone to support Erik as the future WG chair based on the significant work he has done for the community over the last several years. I have complete confidence in his stewardship of the group in the future. Thank you.
