Hi All, I'd like us to agree/execute the proposed structure for mentoring Rahul & Lahiru please ?
Thus, can we agree on once a fortnight reporting & kick it off now ? Lahiru - can you give us a status update on Fridays, once a fortnight please ? Thanks ! Also, Lahiru (apologies for the time lag) - we'll start our weekly call on Thursday next week as proposed (12pm DST). Carl et al - did something regular get set up for Rahul at all ?
