<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">As outgoing Chairman I want to express
my thanks to everyone who's efforts have helped us make progress and kept
the PWG viable in serving the industry with useful and credible standards.
It has been an honor for me to serve as your Chairman for 6 years but,
make no mistake, the credit for essential standards such as the Port Mon
MIB, Counters Spec, DMTF CIM upgrade, MFD Alerts, Semantic Model and our
current Web Services Management and MFD Modeling efforts goes to all the
hard working w/g Chairs, Secretaries, Editors and contributors!</font>
