    Dear Committee Members,<br>
    <br>
    I apologize for the delays. We had to fight a fair bit with Google
    Docs, and then with Libre Office.<br>
    <br>
    I believe it is still the 19th in beautiful Hawaii!<br>
    <br>
    Please find attached our proposal for Ottawa.<br>
    <br>
    Best regards,<br>
    <br>
    Jerome<br>
