[DC] Meeting 11 April

Sun Apr 13 11:51:54 EDT 2025

Hello all,

I hope you're doing well. It’s been some time since we last connected.

This morning, it came to my attention that there was a DCCG meeting this
past Friday. This prompted me to check my inbox for any related updates,
and I realized that I have not been receiving emails from the DC mailing
list. Stacy mentioned having received multiple emails, which highlighted
the issue.

After some communication, we discovered that both I and another board
member appear to have been removed from the mailing list, as we have not
received any emails since the 18th of last month. This may also be the case
for other members, effectively cutting off updates from the DC system for
nearly a month.

We kindly request clarification on the cause of this issue and that steps
be taken to resolve it promptly.

Regards,
*Amrith Kumar*
DTC Board
