Pam, Emmanuel, Colm,

I would definitely want to see OpenAz successful and be adopted widely. I 
haven’t been able to stay engaged as much as I would like to, in the last 
couple of months or so. I do intent to contribute to this effort going forward.

As Pam mentioned, we have a potential release candidate. Ideally, it would be 
nice to add a couple of tests that demonstrate the use/configuration of PIPs, 
with the PepAPI in action. I can take this up and add it in the next few days.

Ajith
