Dear Magdalena,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">At long last (and apologies for the delay), after discussions with the GWIC members we'll move forward to bring IGrav into GWIC as a standing subcommittee. Congratulations! </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Logistical bits:</div>
<div class="">IGrav gets one (non-voting) member representative to GWIC, and it is up to IGrav to appoint that person. Once you’ve selected your representative, let us know and we’ll update the GWIC web site. Also, if IGrav has a web site, please send along
the address so we can add it to the GWIC web site. Finally, we haven’t yet settled on a date for the 2021 (virtual) GWIC meeting. When that's set, David will be in touch. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">And finally, happy to answer any questions you may have.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Cheers,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Dave</div>

<div class="">Hi Dave and David,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We just had an IGrav meeting and discussed your suggested document: it aligns with our expectations. I have just added another sentence to spell out the complete mission of IGrav. Thanks for bringing this to GWIC in the near future. <br class="">

<div class="">Dear Magdalena, All,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">David Shoemaker and I have put together a brief document capturing our discussion last week whichs puts on paper a membership model for iGrav within GWIC:<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/19OBcLuT7USlx9yyRox8fDQaqq5hCHfiWK9ucK8ueKeg/edit?usp=sharing" class="">https://docs.google.com/document/d/19OBcLuT7USlx9yyRox8fDQaqq5hCHfiWK9ucK8ueKeg/edit?usp=sharing</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We’ll bring this to GWIC sometime in the near future, however we want to give you the opportunity to look at and comment on it first. Feel free to comment in the google doc. Assuming there is nothing substantive to go over, let me know by the
end of next week (March 5) that this aligns with your expections.</div>
