Apologies for sending this to the many of you already receiving this.
I enjoy these any time, and this has some important news items.
But I mainly am sending this to encourage participating in their annual survey (3rd item down). My survey response centered on char-making stove development (lack of by GACC). Mostly I was supportive of GACC.
There is also one-time notice (5th item down) of an upcoming vote in the ISO process - this time on field testing. I’m a participant if anyone has a message they want in.
I think the message below should still have active links. If not, I think it will open at:
