James's last message is mysterious because I don't know what <aol> means...Google tells me: AOL AcronymDefinition AoL Army of Light (Starwars Galaxies guild) AOL Age of Legends (Wheel of Time Series) AOL Airborne Oceanographic LIDAR AOL Absent Over Leave (See *AWOL*) which doesn't help much. Anyway, I, too, am glad Martina is willing to continue as chair. Elisa On Mon, Dec 17, 2018 at 1:23 PM James Cummings < James.Cummings@newcastle.ac.uk> wrote:

Dear all,

I realized that I haven’t said anything about running for Chair again yet, but I wanted to keep the announcement and my candidature separate. I'd be happy to serve as Chair of the TEI Technical Council for another year. I learned a lot this year and have no doubt that there is yet more to learn.

Best wishes, Martina
