[SeasonOfDocs] introduction

[Jo Cook]

Hi Jennifer,

Welcome! It would be great if you could elaborate on what you perceive the
differences between WtD and tGDP- as it's a question that has been
bothering me as we get it set up.

I probably won't be at the call today, so an email discussion about it
would be great.

Thanks

Jo
