Hello John,

Good idea. I will suggest this to the board. Full disclosure: I know
that the offer has been made, but I have no idea how long it remains
valid. Right now, the board is certainly very busy trying to find a new
CEO and a new CTO.

As a side-note: we do not care about national administrations nearly as
much as about our users. If our users are unhappy, so are we.

Best regards,
 David
