Hi Aaron,
Could you please confirm that Lila and Dario are in receipt of the
fact-checker candidate list and associated materials? Please remember that
the WEF can't hire them but the WikiEd Foundation has not yet achieved
IdeaLab technology, so your assistance may still be required. Thank you for
your patience.
Best regards,
James Salsman

Dear Dario and Lila,
Are you both able to see the human fact checker and proofreader candidates
in
[censored] ?
Please keep the contents of that file confidential, as I promised I would
not share it with commercial interests.
Please let me know your thoughts on the next best steps.
Best regards,
James
