Hey, My 2 bits on this -
a) ODC and DataMeet Trust can be co-branded - they have the same origins and this is a good opportunity for the Trust to get some visibility through ODC. b) This letter is a bit long- I would recommend that you edit out some bits - especially about the backgrounds of the old ODCs and focus on the current one, mentioning Krishnamurthy's participation.
