Late to the party, but I also want to publicly thank Eran for what has been a nearly thankless job over the last few years. It's very difficult wrangling a pack of angry nerds and trying to express a group consensus, to be sure. In the end I think we have a specification document that is readable, makes sense, and will ultimately be one of the most useful protocols on the internet over the next few years. I know it hasn't been easy, and things probably could have gone a lot better than they did, but even still: Thank you.
