Current Version: 1.2Resignation of Malcolm Tyler, Chairman of the PSA Committee
- Chairman of the WITS-DNP3 Telemetry Protocol Project 2005 - 2010
- Chairman of the WITS Protocol Standards Association Interim Committee 2011
- Chairman of the WITS Protocol Standards Association Committee 2011- 2012
In March 2012 Malcolm tendered his resignation as PSA Chairman and Committee member for health reasons. Malcolm Tyler has been at the head of the team of users and vendors involved in the production of the WITS-DNP3 Protocol Standard for over 7 years from 2005 to the present.
Throughout the 7 years of Feasibility, Detailed Design, Initial Product Test and Industry Adoption stages of the original project, Malcolm was consistently voted by the WITS user and vendor team as Chairman of the original project team, then Interim and later current Chairman of the WITS Protocol Standards Association (formed in January 2011). Malcolm has been firmly at the head of the team, giving guidance, support and assistance wherever required.
His negotiation and personal skills have been of great benefit to the team. His efforts have been ceaseless in overcoming many problems and issues which have sometimes threatened to jeopardise the programme designed to culminate in the production of a working Protocol.
The fact that the WITS-DNP3 Protocol Standard has passed the successful development and launch stages resulting in its increasing worldwide acceptance is in no small way due to the unceasing efforts and leadership of our Chairman, Malcolm Tyler.
The PSA Committee wishes to give thanks for and to pay tribute to Malcolm’s efforts and to express their regrets at his resignation. We all wish him well for the future.
Committee member Martin Pritchard of Severn Trent Water was voted as the new Chairman after an election held on 21st March.
