Hi Tatiana,

The board has mentioned (in the last NCSG-Board session) that they
wanted to take steps, and so did individual board members in the CCWP HR
session.

I would like to ensure that we're fully aware of all the processes that
are taking place, to ensure that there is no duplication of efforts and
we can make progress in full transparency.

Best,

Niels
