RE: Challenge: was Re: Updated Nomcom 2020-2021: Result of random selection process

["STARK, BARBARA H" <[e-mail]>]

Apologies for not replying sooner. But, my house was being packed on Wednesday, loaded on the truck on Thursday, we cleaned out the old house on Friday, drove 800 miles on Saturday (and I ended up having to drive one of the cars the whole way), and started putting the new house together on Sunday. I was totally off-line and blithely unaware of this storm.

I’ll be chatting with Victor and Suresh tomorrow. I’m also going to reach out to Luigi and Tal, to make sure they’re aware (in case they aren’t on this list). I’ll send an email Monday before 23:59 UTC.

Thanks for all your thoughtful discussion. Much appreciated.
Barbara

All,

My understanding its under review.  Sufficient time for community discussion and input.
