Kirk,

I appreciate this attempt, but this wasn't what I was requesting. Could you
clarify that you're not willing to schedule the sessions as I'd requested /
and/or appointing other facilitators for those discussions?

I specifically was requesting to present on #1, #2, #3, and #5. I believe
the recordings will show that.

This is a critically important area for Google, and while we welcome
participation, the request for the sessions, as made on the call, stands,
with Google facilitating the discussion.
