Dear TC members, Due to shifts in my job responsibilities, I need to step back from my role as co-Chair of the OData TC. I want to thank Ralf Handl (my fellow co-Chair) for graciously covering for me over the last several months. I hereby submit my resignation from the co-Chair position effective Dec 12, 2016. 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 OData work forward. On behalf of Microsoft, I nominate Mike Pizzo to be considered for the co-Chair position. Thank you.
