Thank you for the warm welcome, Avri. I will talk to Alex about the possibility of some kind of small event, announcement, or whatever's appropriate to attract more participation and awareness, in time for the forthcoming San Francisco meeting, which I think he is planning to attend. Your and Rosemary's suggestions for this would of course be very welcome.

Best regards,

Beau Brendler
