+Hi All,
+
+I would like to nominate myself for Antelope cycle TripleO PTL.
+
+As some of you would know, I have been part of the OpenStack community
+for a long time and have been a core contributor for TripleO and Heat.
+I have also served as Heat PTL for Ocata cycle.
+
+James has done a great job as PTL for the last few cycles. I would like
+to take the opportunity to thank him for all his effort and we all would
+agree that he needs a well deserved break.
+
+I am looking forward to take the opportunity to help the community to
+achieve some of the already planned goals, in progress workstreams
+like standalone roles, multi-rhel and other challenges that come along
+the way.
+
+Also, as before, our focus would continue to be on review prioritization,
+in progress work streams and collaboration on common priorities.
+
+Thank you,
+Rabi
