Hi Alexander, Your overall call for participation is interesting, but the subject line "where is the blockchain for my grandma?" was off-putting. Please don't use "grandma" to refer to a generic non-technical user. Regarding calls for papers or participation, it's up to the CG chairs whether those are welcome on the CG list.
