Hi Olsin --
Thanks for letting us all know! I have been working on the Marketing
beat for FWN for the past couple of issues, and have been an Ambassador
since last Fall for Indiana, USA. Speaking for myself, as a newcomer, I
am happy to step aside and let those who have paid their dues more than
I take on this leadership role. I certainly can go back to covering the
Marketing beat if that is the outcome that makes the most sense here.
Best,
- pascal
