Subject: new regulatory database mainteiner -- Seth Forshee

Greetings,

As you may know, I have been maintaining the wireless regulatory rules
database used by CRDA since the project was started. Although I
am not an expert on regulatory law by anyone's estimation, I have
maintained this database both through personal trust in those
presenting patches and through an abundance of caution about only
applying non-controversial changes.

In any case, I now find other demands on my time. I have asked Seth
Forshee if he would be willing to accept this responsibility from
me and Seth has graciously done so. Seth, Luis, and I have been in
the process of making the actual technical hand-off over the past
several days, and I think everything should be in place soon (if it
isn't already there now). This includes ensuring that Seth has the
necessary access for publishing wireless-regdb updates on kernel.org,
and ensuring that his public signing key is included as part of the
CRDA package distribution.

I would like to thank Seth for taking this important duty upon himself
and I wish him all the best in doing so. I hope that everyone else
will do the same!

Thanks,

John
