Hi all,
Just in case anyone was on the fence, I've received enough interest to move
forward with the committee. Some of the candidates are a bit lukewarm,
though, so there's still an opportunity for you to get involved if you are
really excited about this.
If you are still interested, please let me know by 11:59pm tonight.
Best,
Paul
