I'm with Anju, I trust your judgment on this person being chill, if
anything maybe you can pass us along any specifics they'd like you to
convey (assuming you're proposing this as a thing you want to take on)... I
think it's a cool idea tho! Interested to hear more but yea, I don't think
we need that person there to explain it. Sweeet!
