To ASRG members,
I am extremely honored by the invitation to become the co-chair of the
group. I am hoping that my involvement in the group in my new role will
advance the work of the ASRG. I am founder of a company that writes and
sells Internet-based business management software for vertical industries.
Our software includes email components and anti-spam tools as well, which
is what originally brought me to the ASRG. I am a software architect and
concentrate more on the overall design of software systems rather then the
nitty-gritty details. Thus, my interests tend to lie in more high-level
"bird-eye" type of things such as the consent framework rather than very
low-level technical details. Therefore, I will be more of a coordinator and
a host - providing a friendly environment to foster anti-spam research,
coordinating things and making sure that coffee is always hot :) Paul and I
will try to keep the group focused on its goals so we do not "miss the
forest for the trees".
The ASRG has seen a lot of activity in the last five months and a solid
foundation has been laid. Paul and I have a number of things planned to
have the group move aggressively toward achieving the goals that have been
set forth for the RG. We would like to applaud all group members who have
contributed to the work of the group and continue to do so. Please let us
know if you have any suggestions on any aspect of the group, if you would
like to volunteer or any other comments that you have.
Sincerely,
Yakov Shafranovich
Co-chair, ASRG

I am pleased to announce to the list that Yakov Shafranovich has agreed to
serve as co-chair of the ASRG. Yakov's commitment to helping ASRG advance
toward its goals has been evident over the last couple of months. With this
appointment, we look forward to Yakov's continued and increased
contributions toward advancing the work of the ASRG.
As you may know, it is quite common for RGs to have multiple chairs. Seven
of the other 12 RGs have more than one chair. This change is another
important step toward having the ASRG be as effective as possible.
RFC 2014 defines guidelines and procedures for IRTF research groups. It
describes certain tasks of a group chair and we've defined others based on
the needs of the ASRG. I'll briefly state how we plan to share the different
tasks:
+ Paul will focus on group process and content management; meetings; and
public relations.
+ Yakov will focus on mailing list moderation; document publication; and
serving as liaison with other groups as necessary.
+ We will share the tasks of distributing the work and document development.
To be clear, we will work closely across all of these tasks and share the
load as appropriate. This is just to inform the group of each of our primary
focus and is not meant to imply that our efforts will be disjoint.
Paul
