[gesa-wg] RE: The end of the road

[John Tollefsrud]

Jon,

It was about six months ago that we discussed closing down GESA.. except
there was this nearly-finished use case document. You took the initiative to
wrap up GESA on a strong note by pushing the doc out. And you did! A
terrific job. It's bittersweet that GGF gains a document while it loses
someone like you who can make it happen. It doesn't seem like we're ahead.

Thanks again for the fine effort Jon. I hope to see you soon so I can buy
you a beer.
