Hi Michelle - I think this is a good starting point. I had still wanted to see a poll to the community to make sure we're properly alligned and focused, but the discussion I started on that seems to have gone awry. So, if the idea of the poll won't fly, I think setting our priorities this way is the next best way to go. Obviously, for individual roles, I like how you've lined us up in some of our favorite areas already.
