The ZLC should be able to move forward with a vote to identify a replacement.  Of the responses I’ve seen there is a unanimous support for Option 1.

In my my absence this week I authorize Bruce Armstrong to vote as my proxy on issues / voting.

Based on some notes I’ve received I wanted to clarify that I am NOT leaving the project, I am merely aligning my available time with responsibilities and that was the basis of my decision to step down.  

So, as Mark Twain once famously said, “Rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated” :)
