Dear AMQP TC members, Due to shifts in my job responsibilities, I need to step back from my role as co-Chair of the AMQP TC. Over the years, we accomplished many things together including advancing AMQP 1.0 to an international standard. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this journey with you all. I hereby submit my resignation from the co-Chair position effective May 4, 2017. Though I am stepping back from the co-Chair role, I will continue to contribute in ways I can including in my current role as one of the OASIS Board of Directors. Microsoft is fully committed to advancing the AMQP work forward. Thank you.
