first of all thanks for driving this forward, I was offline for some days and I am happy to see that we made progress not only with the PMC roster but also with the PMC chair selection. I am in favor of Andrea Pescetti as well and think he would be a good chair representing the overall community. I hope Andrea will be available as potential PMC chair. Juergen
