proposed resolution for next board meeting

[Steven Noels <st...@outerthought.org>]

Dear board,

after Stefano had indicated his wish [1] to resign from the Cocoon PMC 
chair position, the Cocoon PMC voted a new chair [2], so we kindly ask 
you to ratify the following resolution upon the next board meeting:

                                  - o -

WHEREAS, the membership of the Apache Cocoon Project Management 
Committee (PMC) have nominated Steven Noels to serve as chairman of the 
Apache Cocoon PMC; and
WHEREAS, the previously appointed chairman of the Apache Cocoon PMC, 
Stefano Mazzocchi, has resigned his position as Vice President, Apache 
Cocoon, in favor of Steven Noels' appointment to that position.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Steven Noels be and hereby is 
appointed to the office of Vice President, Apache Cocoon, to serve in 
accordance with and subject to the direction of the Board of Directors 
and the Bylaws of the Foundation until death, resignation, retirement, 
removal or disqualification, or until a successor is appointed.

                                  - o -

Speaking for the entire Cocoon community, I want to thank Stefano for 
his fruitful tenure as the first Cocoon PMC chair, which marked the 
important transition from XML to Cocoon being a top-level ASF project.

I want to thank my fellow Cocoonies for their trust in me and the 
inspiring and friendly community - it sure feels like being carried on 
the shoulders of a giant.
