[Board] Upcoming Open Letter to the OGC - with attachment!

[Jeff McKenna]

Hello Cameron,

In the end I spent most of my day yesterday on this (yes I dropped paid
work again).  In the end I had to place my signature, and choose to
speak from the heart.  I would not change a thing next time.

Thank you for the feedback.

Have a nice weekend.  Long weekend here in Canada.
