[db-wg] WG Chairs Selection

Although Job's prior email was inappropriate, I don't believe that
Denis's reply below was acceptable for someone seeking the position of
co-chair of this WG.  Due to this and several other similarly toned
emails from him to this mailing list over the last number of months, I
think it would be in the best interests of the working group if he did
not become a co-chair at this time, and respectfully suggest that he may
wish to consider withdrawing his candidacy for the position.
