Re: Planning to close Voice Interaction Community Group due to inactivity unless we hear from you

Hi Debby,

Thanks for the update and explanation. :) I was aware of the workshop and am glad to hear that it will feed back to your work.

We won’t close the group for now and wish you luck in the next phase of work. Thank you for the offer to provide updates to your
CG home page.

All the best,
Ian
