[Mmwg] And then they were ten

[Dave Kissoondoyal]

Dear Avri,

I have joined the group as well. However, due to the time difference (we are
at GMT +4), its only today that I am checking my emails. 
I do support Avri being the caretaker/moderator or facilitator since she has
already been the initiator of this WG. 

I agree with Peter that due to the holidays, most of us will not be able to
make normal participation. However, I encourage those who are available to
drop a few words from time to time to make the discussion lively

Happy holidays 

Dave Kissoondoyal

Hi everyone,

I support the idea of Avri caretaking - and I suggest until late January.
With
hoiday seasons for many of us normal participation is going to be hard for a
lot of us so - I don't expect to be able to make any reasonable 
contribution or
keep up with things over the next month.

All the best to everyone taking holidays and time off!
