Thank you for following the RFC8713 process and seeking the NomCom's 
approval of the proposed advisors.

I trust that you and the Nomcom will still get useful help and advice 
from Henrik and Suresh, even with them outside the official NomCom 
circle, and I am confident that this NomCom will succeed.

-- Sam
