Re: [edu-team] Guides program website for IETF 104

Thanks… good to see this moving forward. 

I tried to do a sample guide request and a sample guide volunteer. I got the email for requesting a guide and was able to link to and fill out the request. I used a second email address to volunteer to be a guide, but I haven’t yet gotten a link yet via email to finish the “volunteering”… I did it twice to make sure I wasn’t mistaken…

In fact, please try.)
