[Linganth] thank you --Re: responses to would like one more presenter for an AAA panel

[Ilana Gershon]

The papers all sound fantastic,
and with such a plethora, I ended up taking the first person who answered.

Very exciting to find out how many of us are thinking through similar 
questions,
Ilana
