[OpenLayers-Dev] Project Steering Committee Chair

[Tim Schaub]

Hey-

Erik, this is unfortunate news for the project, but I hope it means good 
things for you professionally.

I'm happy to throw my name in for the PSC Chair position.  And I also 
like the idea of having term limits to encourage circulation.  (And if 
someone else wants the upcoming shift more, I will gladly wait.)
