Hello, I would like to participate in the design of Haskell 2011. I have used Haskell for about 10 years, commercially at Galois Inc, for the last 3. I have a good understanding of all parts of the language and various implementations, and I have a particular interest in its type system and semantics, which is why I think that I would be able to provide valuable input to the committee. -Iavor
