An explanation of my current affiliation with IBM

When I retired from IBM in April of 2010, the company gave me the honorary title of Distinguished Engineer Emeritus. The DE Emeritus designation is intended to encourage retirees like me to remain active, informally, in the IBM technical community. It is an unpaid position. I am not an employee of IBM, and I am not in general authorized to speak for them or to act on their behalf. As a courtesy, IBM does grant me access to some of their facilities.

Accordingly, in the W3C and in other Internet standards organizations, I no longer speak for or in any other way represent the IBM Corporation. Although e-mail sent to my IBM address will likely reach me for the foreseeable future, it is more appropriate now to send email relating to standards work to "nrm AT arcanedomain.com", where AT is replaced by the @ sign.
