Re: Adding Wake Lock to the charter

Marcos

Thanks for the timely suggestion, as you know we’re already working on how and when to update the charter and seeing how we can do an update expeditiously. Dom and I will discuss upon his return, adding this to the list.

Out of curiosity, why the sudden “pressure”, what has changed, since for example, two months ago?

regards, Frederick
