hi Christian, greetings MAT WG, Many thanks for your service! MAT WG has become a useful venue for discussing measurement at the intersection of research and operations, which makes it fairly unique; many thanks for your dedication to making that happen. I'd be interested in co-chairing the working group to help keep the venue running strong.
