Azul Systems would still like to offer to take over leadership of this project from the beginning of next year. To comply with the Bylaws of the OpenJDK 6 project, the Project Lead needs to have Committer status on the project. Simon Ritter does not have this status and so he is not eligble (at this time) to lead the project. Since I am a committer on the OpenJDK 6 project I would therefore like to offer to represent Azul as Project Lead.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thanks, Andrew.

Azul Systems (my employer) has clients who would like to continue to use JDK 6 and we will continue to support them. In the spirit of the OpenJDK project we would like to continue to push any bug fixes into the OpenJDK 6 source tree. I'm happy to discuss this, as required. Regards, Simon.
