No problem. Gmail isn't very helpful with reminding you to reply to all.  :-)

I agree somewhat with you about the regional PoCs. I guess it's like
many situations -- when you have a leader, no one else steps up
because they expect the leader to do everything. On the other hand, if
no one has any responsibility to do something, it's possible that
nothing will ever happen.

It's something to think about.
