Dear Chapter Leaders,

There ...

Hi - National Go Center (NGC) here.

Sorry to hear about the EGCC closing. I had hoped to visit someday.

It won't run on RT. Anders would be the one to answer whether he has any RT plans. Bill Chiles and I have both been working on an SGF editor that will run on RT. I have pretty limited time to work on it so not sure when it will see light of day, but intention is to put it in the app store as a free ...

The lectures by Mingjiu Jiang in the series All about Invasion on Guo Juan's Internet School cover this in detail.

On the topic of board meeting and AGM, I'm less interested in the retrospective griping as I am about forward-looking items. Can we get a general summary of discussions about future plans, priorities and programs?

Daniel's notes will have the details but I'd say in general with the recognition ...
