Hello Jan (bcc PMC) --I noticed that the draft press release I had forwarded 
remains untouched.
How can I help?

Thanks, Jan.
That's fine. I don't want to step on any toes or mis-manage expectations, so 
I'll be standing by for your next steps.
Kind regards,Sally

Sally, thanks for the context here, this is obviously not our world ;)

I think the earliest we can kick off the vote is ~24 hours from now. I’ve just 
sent the “getting real” email to dev@, I’ll keep you posted.

Best
Jan
