John Cowan has resigned as chair of the R7RS-large project, stating that he is exhausted and does not believe that sufficient agreement can be reached among the different players. The announcement was made earlier than planned due to the lack of progress and the increasing entrenchment of people’s views. There are no recommendations for a replacement, leaving it up to the Steering Committee to decide the project’s future. Despite the challenges, many members expressed gratitude for Cowan’s efforts, praising his knowledge, openness, and fair manner. The resignation has left the future of the project uncertain.
