+1, good idea! I find such information more useful than the form.

>    4. Use Google infrastructure for mails and drive space

+0

I share Gérald's concerns, but also know that internal mail/files
management is a significant task for SAC. Either we go for Google mails
and drive (or any other external service) either SAC deserves to get
funds for it.

To be honest, I have been surprised by the tone of emails. Anyway, it's
solved now.

I agree that it could be too daunty to be the first task for the new
Board; but I am confident that with so many great candidates, it will
be possible to tackle it soon.
