Hi all,<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-left:0cm">
Regrettably, I've decided to step down from the steering committee. My heart simply isn't in Haskell these days, and I'd prefer to give up my membership to someone more capable of doing good with it.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-left:0cm">
For my replacement, I'd like to nominate Tom Harding and Chris Penner (both cc'd). I don't know of anyone else in the community who is as smart or dedicated as these two. Both have solid industrial credentials to help diversify the otherwise academic committee.
 The community at large would be very lucky to have either of them helping to steer.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-left:0cm">
It's been an honour to serve with you all.<u></u><u></u></p>

Best,<u></u><u></u></p>
