Board Members and Foundation Staff,

I am hereby notifying you all that my tenure in representing AT&T at the OpenStack Board of Directors is coming to an end. My Company is expecting me to work on other strategic opensource technology areas.

Ryan Van Wyk will be taking my spot as the AT&T Board of Directors appointee as of today. I've copied Ryan here. Ryan is an AVP and responsible for the development of Airship and OpenStack within AT&T. He will be a helpful liaison to all our various implementations of OpenStack & other OSF Projects.

Working with you all and the OpenStack community over the last several years has been a tremendously rewarding experience for me, especially given the context of OpenStack’s unprecedented growth and evolution in SDN, NFV, Edge Computing and hosting OSF level projects.

I thank you for all your hard work, support, friendship and collaboration over my time on the board. I will continue to support and engage on the community efforts wherever possible.

Thank you again.

Regards

Kandan Kathirvel

AT&T
