Update on this. I sent this to Shannon and Erin and they said they have
been trying to get Rick a spot on this panel so they are going to reach out
about proposing having both you and Rick speak.

Also, would you be up for meeting with Rick and Erin next week to catch up
on how things are going with WFP?  I was going to propose Tues or Thurs
next week in the morning.
