   I think my contribution to approving membership committe has been 
minimum, which is probably a reflection of my other works load. Given 
that there are that many volunteers, I think I should step aside and let 
them have a chance to server and help out with the works! (Is this a 
good enough excuse :)

   In my resignation, you can accept another person. I would suggestion 
the choice of the volunteers could be based on divest geographical 
location (for Culture and time zone), affiliation and possible past 
experience.  Should also take a reference in the case of tie-breaker.

   I think if it possible is to accept them all or else as a committee 
in standing. Essentially, they automatically become once some one else left.

   Once again, I want to thank you all for it has been a pleasure 
working with your all :)
