Thanks for the clarification, Naveen. I'd recommend against having wiki or other mutable document for such discussion, because people's response (or the lack of it in the case of lazy consensus) is only toward the version they saw, which can be changed. Rather, it would likely be a better idea to

Hi Naveen, While your enthusiasm is certainly appreciated, next time, shall we include the "new Issue Type" in the discussion first? I found no prior mention on this. Also, a reminder to everyone that next time, let's respect Apache Infra's time by following the instructions to have an Apache

Hi, Hen, Thanks a lot for your feedback, it is very valuable! I should have been probably more explicit about idea and intention of providing users with office hours channel of communication. The idea behind office hours is to provide an additional communication channel to Apache MXNet users.

My concerns on Office Hours are: 1) Voice and F2F are not very welcoming for a diverse community. There I am, sitting in New Zealand, and you want me to get on the phone and wake up the rest of the family to have a conversation. Or get on a plane. 2) Having to book time is also not very
