I am please to nominate for Co-Chairs of the MQTT Technical Committee, Richard Coppen and Raphael Cohen. Both bring a great depth of experience designing, using, applying and developing MQTT related software and systems. Having Co-Chairs with a deep technical knowledge of the MQTT protocol, as well as a sense of the value of standardization to industry growth, will be strong asset to the TC. Richard is a software architect at IBM's UK Hursley Laboratory, with over 15 years in the development and test of middleware products, specializing in message queueing technologies. As a Chartered Engineer and Fellow of the BCS, Richard has a keen interest in subsystem integration and the application of MQTT harness sensor data. Raph is Co-Founder and Chief Architect of StormMQ which specializes in cloud based message broker services. Raph is one of this TC's proposers and works as Secretary for the AMQP Technical Committee, a related specification at OASIS. best regards...............Scott Scott de Deugd
