Nigel, Thank you for your email. I do have the approval and support of my employer to both dedicated the time and resources (including attending the meetings in person). I do have the time, ability, and experience as you have described. And am familiar with the processes for the community and the PDP. With the support I have had on the mailing list and from others who have reached out privately, I would like to continue in consideration for this role to support this working group.
