I like to express my deepest appreciation for the energy and
dedication you have invested in the RICH project. It is thanks to
your leadership that the RICH project has become a reality and has
made so much progress in the past few years. <br>
<br>
I also like to thank Marco Contalbrigo (INFN) who has agreed to
lead the project, and Valery Koubarovski (JLAB) who will continue
as the JLab/Hall B representative.<br>

I have worked in the project and I have taken the project

change didn't affect the project because we all have always
worked as a close team. However, even if in my new position
I will continue to assure close cooperation with the RICH
collaboration during the design and construction phases of
the detector and I will provide support for the
infrastructure necessary for its completion, it is important
to take a formal statement about my resignation from the
project leader role.</font></div>
