Hi Brett<br>
<br>
I think the best person to engage with is Henry Hall, cc'd. I've
also cc'd Victor Palau, who is a leader in the team that coordinates
all formal enablement and certification. I'd suggest starting with
Henry.<br>
<br>
We'd be delighted to have a proper engagement and relationship along
those lines.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps,<br>
Mark<br>
