I wanted to let you know that our colleague and friend James Polk passed away last week. James had been participating in the IETF for over a decade. Over the years he made many valuable contributions that spanned the areas, with particular focus on SIP, emergency services, geolocation, and differentiated services. Beyond his technical work, he sought to make improvements in the role of WG chair and the IETF overall. I think we all knew him as a fierce defender of the solutions he believed in who also had a softer side. He will be missed at the IETF and at Cisco.

Please keep James' family in your thoughts.
