• Determining Active Project Status

  • I have completed the first round of requests for all Flagship, Labs, and Incubator projects.
  • I am now going through the list, and e-mailing the non-responsive Leaders once again.
  • Today, I have gone ahead and re-sent my request for a 3rd time to un-responsive Leaders.
  • If I do not get a reply by Friday, 26th of July, then I will mark the project as inactive.
