Hi Dan,
The email we sent out to you this morning targets to bring all the parties involved so far up-to-date with the goals syncing process.
Along with other things mentioned, we will post our synced goals on the public page as soon as we have gathered final feedback and defined
goals’
timelines.
Best,
Volker
