<div dir="ltr">Hi Chairs,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I apologize that I won't be able to take this on. I have been traveling the last few weeks, and plan to start with HotStorage reviews this weekend. But I have to also catch up on email and other work. I just completed my 1st year as a faculty member, and
so unfortunately I don't yet have any PhD students that I could delegate reviews to :-(</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope you understand.</div>
