At various points over the last three years, there have been discussions about reorganization.  That topic has come up on this thread already.

[MB] Can you expand on this reorganization? This wasn't explicitly
stated in your original email.  How would this make up for not having
someone with Congestion Control expertise, which seemed to be the core
issue that has been discussed on this thread?   Note, I'm not debating
there might be other value in the reorganization, I'm just puzzled as
to how it solves this specific problem.
