[sudo-discuss] Fwd: [omni-consensus] Media Lab Proposal

Wed May 30 18:27:12 PDT 2018

Note that there is no delegate meeting this week. The next one is not
tomorrow, but next week: Thursday June 7th (May has 5 Thursdays this time
around.)

This means there is still up to a week for people to discuss this media lab
proposal.
