[Syslog] RE: Call for David Harrington to resign from syslog as co-chair

["David B Harrington" <dbharrington at comcast.net>]

Hi Darren,

The disclosure document itself contains a section IV and a section V. 

Because I work for the company with the claim, I have recused myself
from chairing the discussion, have stayed out of the discussion, and
have asked Chris to lead the discussion.
