Hi Alexandre,
Thanks for getting in touch. That sounds good: I'll reach out again in a month
or so if I've not heard anything from Daf, the coordinator. In the meantime
I'll continue to submit submissions. Christopher - I'll get in touch separately
to discuss refreshing the glossary and style guide, as well as reviewing our
translations.
Kind regards,
Ciaran
