Dear TAG Network Liaisons, Liz Rice and Dave Zolotusky, and all TOC members:

TAG Network has an open need for a third co-chair. As the presiding co-chairs of TAG Network, Ken Owens and I have identified a longstanding member of TAG Network both befitting of and willing to assume this role: Ed Warnicke. We are delighted that Ed is willing to increase his stewardship of TAG Network’s ongoing and forthcoming initiatives.

Here is a brief bio:

Ed is currently the FD.io TSC Chair, and a founder of and active contributor to the Network Service Mesh project. Ed has a masters in Physics (String Theory) from Rutgers University.

Please consider our nomination of Ed Warnicke as a TAG Network co-chair. As you do, know that Ed’s addition will bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the group as well as increase the bandwidth for the TAG to liaise with other groups.

Regards,

Lee Calcote and Ken Owens
