[HumJanenge] Handing over the group ownership

Dear members

This RTI google group was conceived only a few months ago to represent the Federation of Online RTI E-groups ("FORE").

The concept of a Federation includes the amalgamation of individuals or groups who subscribe to common ideals / goals and a shared vision. In the Federation, the management of the components of the consortium is individually retained.

I am pleased to say that the first phase of our Federation has been achieved. We now have 3,000 active members and  have successfully achieved our first engagement as a group with the Government over the RTI Rules amendment issue.

It is now time for me to step down so that a moderator/owner of another group from the Federation can take over in 2011, and so that I can devote time to my own RTI mailing list which has been badly neglected.
