An email was sent on April 3rd: From: Vredenbregt, Elise on behalf of Murphy, Gail Sent: April 3, 2019 12:24 This email said: ``Please send the names, affiliations and email addresses of individuals you wish to nominate for these two working groups, noting which working group you’re nominating them for, to Elise Vredenbregt ([email protected]) by April 8, 2019. We are unable to accept nominations after this date.`` Due to the very short period of time between April 3 and April 8, the email did not get forwarded to me on time for me to join, although I would very much have wished to be a part of the initiative and to put my entire back into it.
