Hello, I agree with William Quiviger on his last email regarding outreach and communications for Mozilla Reps. Since, Mozilla Reps are official representatives, why not have such email address? I understand, you want to make it clear for no misunderstandings regarding staff/volunteers. I believe it would better support the reps regarding communications out in the community. Robert T.
