Dear all,
I am the one 4 candidates who applied by sending an email directly to
Tapani, as his email suggested to let *him* know as soon as possible so I
thought volunteering off-list is fine. I also wanted to avoid long threads
of plus 1s, as it usually happens. Sorry for any confusion - I answered to
Tapani directly that I can volunteer right after he sent the initial email
to the list, and I couldn't foresee how this would develop.
Warm regards
Tatiana Tropina
