Re: Minutes from the June 11, 2021 Steering Committee meeting

Hi Bill,

It is not for going wrong. You captured the summary well. But since this is 
an important decision for updating the contract, I wanted it to be accurate 
so that we can refer to these minutes whenever required.

In fact Ralph and Ivan are quite aware of my habit of improving accuracy of 
the minutes <smile>.


With regards
Avneesh
