[DC] Meeting 11 April

Mon Apr 14 04:34:27 EDT 2025

Dear Amrith,

Sorry to hear about your problems, The first question in cases like this is: have you checked your spam filter? In any case, I am looping in Luis who is in charge to IT and through this email I’m asking him to look into this and sort out whatever problem there is.

Also, we do have a WhatsApp chat going for the DCCG - Roman shares much of the practical information with regard to calls, webinars etc on this chat. Just send an email to Roman and ask him to add you to the chat.

Best regards,
Markus

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.
