As I have stated to you in our discussion I think you have done an
excellent job with the coordination efforts so far.  Its very brave of
you to recognize your situation in this very honest way.

I hope you are able to continue to be a active member of the
Engagement Team once our school settle down, we really need people
like you.

As nobody else have stepped up until this point and I'm familiar with
the process I'm happy to lead the coordination efforts from now on.

I think its critical that we manage to publish a Annual Report within
a reasonable amount of time to show that we as a active project take
such a responsibility seriously. In respect to our broader community,
donors and of course the foundation's advisory board.

On the last [1] Engagement Team meeting [2] we sat the final deadline
for authors to submit articles (expect for Karen's letter) to 10 of
May.

Proofreading and fixing grammatical errors are very much appreciated.

I have updated the wikipage [3] ( including schedule) and notified the
authors who have not yet submitted their articles for review.

I'm confident that we can work together and in a not to distant future
publish a great report we all can be proud of .
