[Hotstorage-generalchairs] HotStorage'26: In Cooperation with USENIX

[Jessica Kim]

Hi, Travis, Mai, and Ashley,

I received the submission to our in-cooperation status application form and
have drafted the contract accordingly, which is attached. You may sign and
return it to me or let me know if you prefer that I route the contract via
Dropbox Sign.

Best,
Jessica
